Due to extremely wet conditions on the grounds following heavy rains Thursday night, the racing program at Jacksonville Speedway scheduled for tonight has been CANCELED.
We have a scheduled week off next week, and will return to action with two big shows on September 17th and September 24th. Friday the 17th will be the Herb Barlow Memorial Sprint Car race along with POWRi Midgets and Micros. This event will be held in conjunction with the Tom Knowles Memorial featuring Sprints and Midgets the following night at Spoon River Speedway with a $1,000 bonus to win both Sprint features.
September 24th will be the annual Shaheen’s Blast From The Past with $4,000 to Win Sprints, along with Modifieds, Street Stocks and Pony Stocks.
More information on both of these events will be posted here later today.
The Modifieds and Sprint cars race for points in their heat races to determine lineups for later events.
Effective This Week: Any car arriving late ( after the pill draw closes) will start in the back of a heat race and will earn position points only, no additional points for advancing positions will be awarded.
The full passing point system is outlined below, but in essence cars are given a certain number of points based on their finishing position, and then an additional 5 points for each position they moved forward in the heat. 1.5 points are deducted for each position they lose in the heat.
