For Immediate Release
The all-new LaSalle Speedway and Entertainment Center is excited to announce that they have reached a partnership with local businessman, Justin McCoy and his wife Jenna (owners of G&M Recycling and Disposal in Streator, Illinois). This is a multi-year partnership that will see long time Promoter Tony Izzo Jr. oversee the day-to-day operations. There will be a collaborative effort to bring great racing and entertainment back to the Illinois Valley. Justin says, "I just love this place. I always have said this place is like home to me since I came here as a little kid and sat in these very grandstands and watched some of the best racing I've ever seen. The Izzos' brought premier events year after year, and we plan to do the same." Tony Izzo said he is very excited to work with someone who has such a passion for racing and such a passion for the LaSalle Speedway Entertainment Center. Izzo said, "He (Justin) is the spark and driving force to getting this project going and to bringing great entertainment back to LaSalle." Izzo also mentioned that he has been in contact with almost every sanctioning body and they are all very excited and interested in coming back to the high banks of LaSalle. Some of the other things the group plans to have are monster truck events, demolition derbies, movies in the field, concerts, and flea markets just to mention a few. There will be a limited number of races in 2025 as we are looking to put on 1 to 2 races a month beginning in May to October. The crews have been hard at work replacing grandstand boards, demolishing the old concession stand, installing and all new victory lane, updating fencing, electricity, prepping for an all-new party deck in turn 4, and much more. We cannot wait to announce more plans and a schedule to you all in the near future.
