Joe Cooksey helped set up the car on Sunday night and Monday Stewart started dead last in the 24 car field. The drive was reminiscent of Stewart’s inaugural run in the Oldani Memorial in 2011.
Stewart, who missed heat race competition due to a NASCAR commitment at Darlington, started twenty-sixth in the field and worked his way to second at the end but was unable to wrestle the lead from teammate Schrader. Schrader tied Brian Shaw’s record five wins in last year’s Labor Day Oldani Memorial leading all 20 laps from the pole after winning his heat race in just over three minutes time Sunday evening. Two-time USAC national champion and past NASCAR Rookie of the Year, Ken Schrader, of Fenton, Missouri headlines the 2018 entry list along with past NASCAR, Ind圜ar and USAC champion Tony Stewart of Columbus, Indiana. Twenty-seven competitors made the trek to the “Magic Mile” in 2017 and a similar number is expected on the grounds Labor Day weekend.
Two of the most prolific and popular racing drivers in motorsport history return to a small piece of southern Illinois real estate Labor Day weekend to challenge a number of area short track stars in the 25th running of the Bill Oldani Memorial UMP Modified race at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds.
