Unzicker tackles Illini 100 in 2026 season opener
Ryan Unzicker made the short trip from his El Paso, Illinois shop to Farmer City Raceway this past weekend as the iconic quarter-mile oval hosted the annual Illini 100.
With a 40-car World of Outlaws Late Model Series field on hand for the doubleheader, Unzicker opened the weekend on a strong note, finishing second in his heat race to lock into the feature. However, his night ended early after mechanical issues while running fifth forced him to retire on lap 34.
On Saturday, Unzicker raced his way into the $25,000-to-win Illini 100 with a fourth-place finish in his heat race. He started 15th in the feature and advanced as high as 13th before pulling off with 10 laps remaining.
