MACON, Ill. — Macon Speedway will have new ownership at the helm in 2023. Built in 1946, Macon Speedway’s 78th season of racing will now be under the ownership of Chris Kearns, long-time race official, promoter, and race enthusiast. Held in January each year, the Wild West Shootout is a six-race event which Kearns owns and promotes for National Late Models, Modifieds, and X Mods. “Macon Speedway has been my favorite dirt track in the country, ever since I attended my first Herald & Review 100 20-plus years ago,” Kearns said. “Now, owning and promoting Macon Speedway is very surreal for me.”. “I am very excited about what we can do at Macon Speedway,” Kearns said. “Macon Speedway has given me a great learning experience and the opportunity to expand and build a large company with Track Enterprises,” Sargent said. “I added the slogan, ‘Coolest Bullring in the Country,’ because that is exactly how I feel about Macon Speedway,” Kearns said.
