HIGHLAND, IL
There were lots of new fans and drivers plus a huge crowd at World Famous Highland Speedway for the Bi-State Battle Late Model Series and Leaps of Love Night. An action-filled night of racing with 90 cars in the pits saw a youth movement with several first-time heat race winners, two new faces in victory lane for the Features and a surprise proposal of marriage at end of the night.
