Just got home from one of the best weekends of racing I ever remember. It started out at Mighty Macon Speedway with Christopher Bell winning the first of 3 USAC National Midget events. The A-main was epic to say the least. One of the best races I've seen in a very long time.
Sunday night at the Logan County Fairgrounds at Lincoln, IL we watched Bell once again pull out the win in the USAC National Midgets. The midget A-main at Lincoln was just very near as good at the night before at Macon. The stock cars were also at Lincoln for their Summer Nationals tour visit. The midgets were the show, however. There was more action and excitement in any 5 laps of the midget A-main than in all 40 laps of the mud cab feature, and that's a fact.
Monday evening at The Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, IL was an interesting first time event that started out looking like it was going to be a huggy pole train race but due to a very good call on track prep by the powers that be it turned out to be a better than average race with Christopher Bell running 3rd in this one and "Sunshine" Tyler Courtney going to victory lane followed closely by his team mate Shane Golobic. The real show was Dave Darland who started 14th and ended up 4th behind Christopher Bell. Old Dave still has the fire and can wheel a midget with the best of them.
