Car Craft Street Machine Nationals returning to DuQuoin

DUQUOIN, IL (KFVS) - The Car Craft Street Machine Nationals will return to the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds June 28-30, 2013.

Organizers say the Street Machine Nationals called the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds home for 13 years, ending its run in 1998. This event was legendary for its hardcore horsepower, cool classics and plenty of big block engines. This national celebration of horsepower and dream machines will showcase the same as the grounds will swell with beautiful, high-performance street machines, hot rods and street trucks from across the nation.
