Macon Speedway recap from Night of Nascar Stars

MACON, IL (August 20) - Macon Speedway co-owners Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace were at it again. The Night of NASCAR Stars originally scheduled for Memorial Day was made up Tuesday with both NASCAR stars and 2007 Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick competing in the BARBECK Modifieds. SPEED-TV analyst and former Cup driver Jimmy Spencer was also along for the fun with the autograph session and commentary.

Schrader won his second feature at Macon this year. The first feature was the NASCAR Night which featured 13 NASCAR drivers on June 14. Kenny Wallace finished eight in the feature. Kevin Harvick did not finish because of a flat right front tire on lap 11.

Dennis Erb, Jr. came close to winning the Herald & Review 100 Saturday night in the Northern All-Star Late Model event but lost the lead to Kevin Weaver. Erb would not allow that same drama to unfold Tuesday. Starting front row outside of Macon Speedway points leader Kyle Logue, Erb passed Logue on lap nine and did not let go despite attempts by Jason Feger and Logue.

Steve Ewing won his fifth Street Stock feature in a row and sixth overall with the dominant 12-lap race.
