Fairbury

What's the farthest away you've ever run?

Uh, I ran Fairbury back, back, um, early 2013 or 14 or something like that.

That was, I think that's the furthest I've ever traveled.

And a modified? No, stock car.

good.

Yes, Bill Dolman, the pride of Fairbury, is reaching in that bottom desk drawer right now and unscrewing the lid off of that energy juice.

I kid.

Pride of Fairbury, Professor Bill on the way.

how you define racing.

I know we got, what, two or three more weeks after this weekend at Grundy, and I think... maybe one week at Fairbury.

You know, the clash is coming up, but I think Montpelier's got a couple weeks to run into October, but we are pretty much at the end of this thing, you know, and it really flew by, didn't it?

Yeah.

So, uh, as someone who has done well and has, uh, gotten outside of my dairy village, Indiana, and, and I guess kind of North central, central Indiana, um, you know, You've raced Eldora.

That's definitely a bucket list track for a lot of people.

Fairbury is a bucket list track for a lot of people.

What's your bucket list track? I assume Eldora, but maybe you've got a new one now that you've already raced at

long weekend, too.

Before we head to Shady Hill, Mars was out at Fairbury for their third day of racing in a row for the Illinois Dirt Shootout where they saw Shannon Babb picking up the big win in the late models, Cole Falloway picking up the win in the modifieds, and Zane Reitz going back-to-back there with the stock cars.

Where was they? They were at Farmer City, then picking up back-to-back.

Friday night, Saturday night, and this time at Fairbury Speedway.

I think it was big payouts, too.

I want to say like $10,000, $5,000, $1,000.

Um, Aaron, our buddy got to shoot three nights at Grundy this weekend.

Uh, Matt Reitz, um, Relation to Zane Reitz, I think that, but don't quote me on that.

So I stayed home.

I guess I could have traveled up to LaSalle or Farmer City or Fairbury.

But I said, you know what? I'll just wait.

And

Okay.

So then they stop at lap 25 and they award him the winner and then they go, okay, draw this, so he does the redraw, he starts third, puts him behind all the big boys, and he passes them, so Ryan Unzinger, congratulations, the real winner, uh, because they re-rack him after 25 laps, and he passes him, uh, then they go to Farmer City, and, um, I forgot who won.

Farmer City, they go, and then they go to Fairbury, and then they go to Spoon and Fager.

Bab won one.

The USRA Modifieds went to Keith Foss.

That went to Shannon Babb.

Yes, it is.

But without jumping too far ahead, talking about this past weekend, We had Kinky Key race, Grundy race, Shady Hill race, Fairbury race, Mars race.

South Bend race.

South Bend race.

Um, so having that opportunity for them to be a part of, you know, our autograph night is really, really unique and good for them and their drivers and their series, you know, kind of rub elbows and meet and greet our local fans more than just, you know, throwing Frisbees out there between, uh, The national anthem in our first heat

race, basically, is what they had done.

But while we were at Shady Hill, Fairbury raced.

They got, not going to believe this, but Mike Spatola wins the late models.
