Popejoy Proud to Sponsor the 2025 Prairie Dirt Classic at Fairbury Speedway

Popejoy Plumbing, Heating, and Electric is proud to be a 2025 sponsor of the Prairie Dirt Classic, one of the most exciting and celebrated dirt track races in the country, right here at the Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, IL. This iconic event brings fans, racers, and families from all over the U.S. to our hometown for a weekend packed with horsepower, heart, and hometown pride.

We’re honored to be sponsoring alongside our longtime friends at Bank of Pontiac, two locally rooted businesses coming together to support an event that means so much to this community.

More Than a Race

For us at Popejoy, the Prairie Dirt Classic isn’t just a big event; it’s personal. We’ve been working with the Fairbury Speedway for many years, helping with facility upgrades and service needs as they’ve continued to grow and evolve. It’s been incredible to watch the track rise to national prominence, and we’re proud to have played a small role in that journey.

Popejoy has been part of this community for over 40 years, serving families and businesses across Central Illinois with dependable plumbing, HVAC, and electrical services. We’ve grown alongside the Speedway and the community it draws together, and we’re thrilled to give back through events like this.
