Flud Takes $5k Macon Speedway “Cornfield Combat” Payday

(Macon, IL) The inaugural “Cornfield Combat” was a huge success this past weekend at Macon Speedway, in Macon, IL. The Thursday-Saturday show featured the PureMax Racing Oil HART Non-Wing Micros, Restricted Micros, and the Junior Sprints. Nearly 100 cars attended the event, including 63 Non-Wing Micros.

The buildup for the three days was for the $5,000 to win HART Non-Wing Micros. Only the best 22 drivers of the 63 attendees made the 35-lap feature event. Polesitter, Frank Flud, from Tulsa, OK, one of the leading favorites for the weekend, started on the front row and took the early lead. His closest challenger for much of the event was Johnny Boland, of Gainesville, TX before a flip with five laps to go eliminated him from action. Flud held off the hungry pack of challengers down the stretch to claim the win over Kyle Spence and Austin Saunders. Matt Carr and Todd Kirkman completed the top five in a Micro field that was represented by over 10 US States.

Farmington, MO driver, Brody Bridgeman took the victory in the Restricted Winged Micros over Callan Hill, Jace Cooksey, Eli Holden, and JJ Williams.

Rounding out the Saturday night feature action was the youngsters in the Junior Sprints. Galesville, WI driver Miken Iverson took the victory, while Braxton Flatt, Jagger Wiggs, Grayson Cooksey, and Kaden Wells completed the top five.

Macon Speedway will be back at it in a very short period of time for the Memorial Day Monday Twin 50’s featuring the Midwest Big Ten Decatur Building Trades Pro Late Models and Midwest Big Ten BillingsleyRewards.com Modifieds, each paying $1,000 to win and $125 to start. Joining the two classes will be the DIRTcar Pro Mods, Weddle Performance Engines Sportsman, 51 Bistro Street Stocks, and DIRTcar Hornets.

Pit gates open Monday at 3:00, grandstands at 4:00, hotlaps at 5:00, and racing at 6:00. Grandstand admission will be $18, while kids 11 and under are free.
