General Tire Grabber 100

The General Tire Grabber 100 is an ARCA Racing Series stock car race held annually on the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds Racetrack during the DuQuoin State Fair on Labor Day.

Race history

The first 100-mile stock car race at the track was held in 1950. It has been a part of a national stock car circuit annually since 1954. AAA sanctioned the race until 1955, USAC from 1956 to 1984, and ARCA took over solely in 1985 after co-sanctioning the race in 1983 and 1984.

Sprint Cup driver participation

In the 2000s, the race has seen participation from Sprint Cup regulars Tony Stewart and Ken Schrader. Stewart won the race in 2003, and Schrader in 2006 and 2007.
