Hi, my name is Andrew (or Drew) Rosten. My brother started this blog for me as a Christmas present. Consider it a gift that keeps on giving. I am currently the sports editor at the Ford County Record, and since taking that job in August 2012, I have won several Illinois Press Association awards. Before then, I was a part-time sports clerk at the Herald & Review in Decatur and part-time stringer for the Clinton Journal.

Farmer City Raceway Results: Matt Maier, Darrel Dick Among Feature Winners on June 24
Cullom native Torin Mettille needed help after slipping on the Farmer City Raceway dirt during his qualifying run. He ended up finishing the run and racing in the Late Models Division semi-feature.
FARMER CITY, Ill. -- Prior to June 24's races at the Farmer City Raceway, Matt Maier of Thomasboro had a bounty on him totaling $200.

Once again, Maier came away with the feature win.

STREET STOCK
On June 24, Farmer City Raceway had a kid's night.

"This was for you," Darrel Dick said.
