Short Track Results: JR Schnabel wins his fifth consecutive race (TT and short track) at the Illinois State Fairgrounds Rodeo Arena. He has that place dialed in for sure. There were a few red flags during this race Finishing order: 1. JR Schnabel (Yam); 2. Joe Kopp (KTM); 3. Bryan Smith (Hon); 4. Chris Carr (Hon); 5. Rob Pearson (Yam); 6. Johnny Murphree (Hon); 7. Henry Wiles (Hon); 8. Kenny Coolbeth (KTM); 9. Jethro Halbert (Hon); 10. Shaun Russell (Hon); 11. Tim Eades (Rot); 12. Willie McCoy (KTM); 13. Bryan Bigelow (ATK); 14. Josh Toungett (Hon); 15. Ion Stear (Yam); 16. Kevin Varnes (Suz) Springfield Mile Results: Chris Carr wins again and clinches his 7th championship. I believe this was his 71st national victory. Coolbeth did what he needed to do and led the first 1/4 of the race pulling away. Sadly his race, and championship hopes died around lap 9, when his bike failed him. All in all, typical Springfield 5 rider lead group last lap draft for the win by inches. Doesn't get much better than this! BTW: Varnes had a good day on the Suzuki. They have now figured out how to "twingle" their engines to be able to run with the Harleys. Also Scott Stump had a better day on the Aprilia than the finishing position would have you believe. Still no Triumph in the main yet. Finishing order: 1. Chris Carr (H-D); 2. Shaun Russell (H-D); 3. Rich King (H-D); 4. Joe Kopp (H-D); 5. Willie McCoy (H-D); 6. Jay Springsteen (H-D); 7.
