Just when it looked like all hope was gone to see
race cars at either of the Illinois mile tracks in 2020, Track
Enterprises officials are thrilled to announce that auto racing will
indeed take place at the Springfield Mile. The ARCA Menards Series
will race on Sunday, October 4, while the USAC Silver Crown Series
will compete on Sunday, October 18.
The two races were originally scheduled for their annual dates on
the final weekend of the Illinois State Fair, however, with COVID-19
cancelling the fair, the races also fell off the schedule. Continued
talks between Track Enterprises promoter, Bob Sargent, as well as
officials from the Illinois State Fair have made the rescheduled
dates a reality.
“We really feel fortunate to have events this year at one of our
Illinois miles. The month of October should be really fun with these
historic races,” stated Bob Sargent.

Just like the recent American Flat Track motorcycle event, grandstand ticket
sales will be limited to 20% capacity in order to promote a safe atmosphere and
allow for proper social distancing. In addition, face coverings will be
required, temperatures will be checked upon arrival, and multiple hand washing
and sanitizing stations will be placed throughout the venue.
To ensure a ticket, fans are encouraged to order online at
