Macon Speedway To Go Live World Wide This Saturday

PPV Will Feature Big Ten Super Late Models On Kid's Castle Night

(Macon, IL) This coming Saturday, August 26, the excitement of Mighty Macon Speedway will become available to more than just those in attendance on Kid's Castle night.  The 1/5-mile, high banked, dirt oval, located in Central Illinois, plays host to numerous special events as well as weekly racing every Saturday night.  If you've never been to Macon, you really can't understand the excitement that is put out week-after-week by the many different types of cars that compete.  This coming Saturday, race fans all over the world will have the opportunity to watch the excitement live from their living room, with the debut of "Macon Speedway Live".

"Macon Speedway Live" will be a live pay-per-view for just the cost of a ticket to the races.  This Saturday's event features seven divisions including Midwest Big Ten UMP Super Late Models, Billingsley Elite Wash UMP Modifieds, UMP B-Mods, UMP Street Stocks, UMP Hornets, POWRi Lucas Oil DII Midgets, and KidModz.  All seven divisions will be live from start to finish on the PPV broadcast for just $15.

Track co-owner Bob Sargent stated, "We are really excited to debut "Macon Speedway Live" this Saturday night. With the evolution of technology and the ability to use home computers, smart phones, tablets, and more, fans will now be able to see Macon Speedway racing all across the world, even if they can't make it to the track."  Sargent added, "This will be especially great for drivers from out of the area, who have many friends and family who can't make it to the track and want to watch.  Now they'll have their chance."

The broadcast stream will start approximately 15 minutes before the green flag drops on the night's festivities and will end after the last checkered flag falls.  As an added bonus, the night's live action goes quickly into an on-demand section which will give those who purchased the live broadcast access to watch again and again.  It will also give those at the track a chance to purchase the on-demand footage for just $10, which is identical to the cost of a DVD the track videographer sells.

Veteran track videographer, Chuck "MuddBoss" Flynn will capture all of the live action with the night's track announcers, Larry Limbach, in his 44th season, and Brett Zerfowski, who is in his 14th season, announcing the action.

The live pay-per-view broadcast will have a local blackout zone radius of 30 miles to assure that local fans still make Macon Speedway their Saturday night destination.  While the pay-per-view will be a great option, watching the races live and in person is by far the best option out there.  The pay-per-view can be purchased at www.maconracing.com.

In addition to the seven division race program presented by Kid's Castle, CEFCU Kid's Club is on tap featuring a kids bounce house and racecar rides at intermission.  A Late Model race simulator will also be on property for fans to try and set fast time to win the $50 top prize.

It is also church night, where local congregations will be on hand to cheer on area pastors in the Faster Pastor race.

Pit gates open Saturday at 4:00, grandstands at 5:00, pill draw ends at 5:00, hotlaps begin at 6:00, and racing will take the green at 7:00.  Grandstand admission will be $15, while kids 11 and under are free.  The pay-per-view will go live at 6:45 and can be purchased for $15 at www.maconracing.com.
