Macon Speedway Race Track in Macon, Illinois, USA
Macon Speedway Dirt Track Logo
Macon Speedway was built in 1946 by Wayne Webb on the site of a brick factory on Macon’s West side. It has been in continuous operation since its inception.
It has been touted as “The World’s fastest 1/5 mile dirt track” for many years. It was also formerly known as “The Other Brickyard” — “Other” being a reference to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s nickname, and “Brickyard” due to buried bricks rising up to the track’s surface from time to time. Many famous drivers who compete on dirt tracks have been to Macon at one time or another.
Macon Speedway races Pro Late Models, Pro Modifieds, Modifieds, Sportsman, Street Stocks, Hornets, and Micros.
