As regards to the Dodge Boys...I have family members that were born and lived in Fairfield, Illinois and grew up with the Wayne County Speed Shop folks...
Myself, I have visited the town too and this is my take...
...the town is a small community that has more churches than businesses and everyone knows each other. Hardly any crime and the patrol car in town just parks near the town hall and the officer has a little siesta since there is not much to worry about.
Their town museum has a section dedicated to sports and it includes a motorsports section with clips of the championship, awards and other memorabilia...
So I asked some family members that still live in town about the break-in...they just chuckled...
