Heavy Rain Postpones Bettenhausen 100 To October

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Heavy overnight rains that carried over into the Saturday morning hours have forced the postponement of the Bettenhausen 100 Presented by Hunt Brothers and MiteXstream at the Illinois State Fairgrounds to Oct. 15.

The Sunday, Aug. 21, portion of the event that features the ARCA Menards Series is still scheduled as planned with a better weather forecast.

Saturday’s program was scheduled to have the USAC Silver Crown Series and DIRTcar Sportsman. Over 40 Silver Crown cars were entered for the historic event.

The Sunday afternoon Atlas 100 will see the ARCA Menards Series in the stock car portion of the weekend. The DIRTcar Sportsman will also qualify and run their feature event.
