The Fairbury American Legion Speedway, affectionately known as “FALS”, was released in iRacing in 2020 Season 3, bringing one of the most beloved bullrings in dirt racing to the sim. Located in Fairbury, Illinois, the quarter-mile dirt oval has long been a Midwest favorite, with a reputation for intense, elbows-up racing.
Its release gave iRacing members access to a venue that blends community spirit, history, and wheel-to-wheel dirt action. Known for its high-profile late model events like the Prairie Dirt Classic, Fairbury is a track where legends are made, and the iRacing version replicates every bump and cushion-building corner of the real thing.
