With a new era at Fairbury American Legion Speedway in 2019 comes an exciting new weekly racing program sure to energize fans and racers alike.

Matt Curl, who will be returning to his hometown track as owner and promoter after spending the 2018 season as the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series director, announced that the venerable quarter-mile oval’s regular Saturday-night action in ’19 will be highlighted by the FALS Cup Weekly Championship. The special series will feature unprecedented payoffs at all weekly shows for both DIRTcar Late Models ($2,500 to win and $300 to start from a total purse of over $10,000) and UMP Modifieds ($1,500 to win and $175 to start from a purse exceeding $6,000).

Overall, more than $22,000 in purses will be distributed at Fairbury’s weekly cards, which will also include the Sportsman, DIRTcar Street Stocks and Hobby Mods in 2019. And despite the increase in payouts, general admission and pit gate prices will stay the same at $10 and $25, respectively, during the upcoming season that kicks off on May 4.

Fairbury resident strikes deal to take over operation of quarter-mile oval

Matt Curl will return to Fairbury American Legion Speedway as the majority owner and promoter of his hometown track after finalizing a deal with Fairbury's American Legion John Joda Post 54 that has long owned and operated the quarter-mile oval, Curl and Legion officials announced jointly on Tuesday.

It's a dream come true for Curl, a 42-year-old native and current resident of Fairbury who grew up attending races at the track, worked as a race-day official in various capacities and served as FALS's race director from the fall of 2012 until the end of the 2017 season. He left Fairbury to become the series director of the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series in 2018 but reluctantly will depart that position in the future after having a golden opportunity materialize at the speedway he loves so much.
