Jack Hewitt Night Set for August 21 at Macon Speedway

(Macon, IL) The biggest racing weekend in Central Illinois is coming up Friday, August 20-Sunday, August 22 with MOWA Sprints at Lincoln Speedway Friday night, State Fair Races in Springfield Saturday and Sunday, and the POWRi Midgets at Macon Speedway Saturday night. The Macon Speedway event will now be known as “Jack Hewitt Night”, set for Saturday, August 21 as the open wheel cars of POWRi make their second appearance of the season.

Hewitt is a two-time champion of the USAC Silver Crown Series as well as a former titlist of the All Star Circuit of Champions. In addition, Hewitt was the 1998 winner of the Eldora 4-Crown Nationals, winning features in USAC Sprints, Midgets, and Silver Crown as well as the UMP Modifieds.

Those who did not have the pleasure of watching Hewitt race may know him from the heated video interview that has gone viral on the web. The interview, laced with some NSFW language, has been viewed over 1,000,000 times on Facebook alone. It has also led to a line of apparel and souvenirs. That interview just happened to take place at, you guessed it, Macon Speedway.

The August 21st event at Macon Speedway will feature Hewitt as the grand marshal. He will be on hand, greeting fans, selling books and apparel, signing autographs, telling stories, and taking in some great Macon Speedway action.

The POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League will be competing in the Camfield Memorial while the POWRi Micros, BillingsleyRewards.com Modifieds, DIRTcar Pro Mods, and Hornets are scheduled to race.

We're going to give you one more chance. We're going to be camped over at the state fairgrounds for race weekend and there are 4 adult admissions riding on your willingness, or lack thereof, to inform us of where within the lineup of all the A-main's that the POWRi midget A-main will be run. You've been very ambiguous in the past and we've pretty much given up on you but we'll give you one more shot.

Where within the list of support classes will the POWRi A-main be run?

Thanks.

On this night our grand marshall is a name that is no stranger to Springfield or Macon in Jack Hewitt. Hewitt is a two-time champion of the USAC Silver Crown Series, 4 time Bettenhasen 100 winner as well as a former titlist of the FloRacing All-Star Circuit of Champions. In addition, Hewitt was the 1998 winner of the Eldora 4-Crown Nationals, winning features in USAC Sprints, Midgets, and Silver Crown as well as the UMP Modifieds. Hewitt is also famous for a heated post incident interview where he gave his thoughts on the flagman, officials and authority, and what they could kiss when it came to his anatomy.
