[ptown]

What drivers will be there Saturday?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Mike Spatola and Kevin Weaver have it on their schedules.

Ray Guss Jr will be in the house too, Might be the last time you get to see him drive! I thought I heard this is his last race!! I remember his rookie year in the 12 car at Peoria in 1978

[Hollis]

The 58 car has anew driver to finish out this year and next year Jermiaw Hurst

[rebalusa1]

Hurst is gonna be racing the #58 at Tipton on Thursday for the $1000 to win Fall Bash. There is something in the works for Gus to run someone else's car at Peoria on the 8th. It's not a for sure deal, won't know till mid week.

Is this race the same one that has been known as the Illinois State Championship over the years?
