Track History: Rockford Speedway is located just seven miles north of Rockford, IL in Loves Park, IL. Rockford Speedway is Northern Illinois’ longest running sports and entertainment venue.
Since the inaugural season in 1948, the high-banked quarter mile oval has been tabbed as “Mid-America’s Finest Racetrack.” Rich in racing tradition, this reputation has been well earned through hosting major events like the granddaddy of all short track post season events, the National Short Track Championships.
This prestigious event has helped launch the careers of the NASCAR stars such as Mark Martin, Dick Trickle, Alan Kulwicki, Ted Musgrave, Rusty Wallace, Rich Bickle, Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Travis Kvapil, Jamie McMurray, Todd Kluever, Erik Darnell, and Scott Wimmer.
The racing is sanctioned by the National Association of Stock Car Racing, NASCAR. Rockford Speedway participates in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series. The divisions that compete at the Rockford Speedway includes: Late Model, Sportsman, American Short Trackers, Road Runners, Hornets, Bandits, Winged Women on Wheels and Figure 8’s. The track also hosts many different touring series including: ARCA Midwest Tour, Big 8 late Model Series, Mid-American Stock Car Series, Illini Racing Series Midgets, Super Cups and more.
Focused on entertaining the fans, Rockford Speedway’s family-oriented racing schedule is nationally known for its innovative events like the ‘Original Trailer Race of Destruction,’ ‘World Famous Figure 8 Trailer Race’ and ‘Night of Thrills.’ The Speedway also welcomes nationally-known monster trucks like Tail Gator, Devastator and Mechanical Mischief along with Doug Rose and his world famous Green Mamba Jet Car.
The Speedway is a quarter-mile, high-banked, asphalt race track with fan-friendly grandstand seating on both sides. The facility has been used for circuses, concerts, car shows, sporting events, swap meets, outdoor sales and numerous community fundraising events.

[@Theuglytruth1776]

[@pjbklk]

I heard by next year this time the track will be a walmart because the owners sold it im so disappointed

[@morphman21]

So sad.

[@ericjones4604]

Indeed,a very sad thing for alot of folks . I grew up in rockford, and that track means alot to my family and friends. Sad

[@CharizardMaster69]

yeah, I understand, but I went there and can see, if they don’t have the money the renovations I saw on the pit pass side, I can’t blame them for selling.

[@joeacp4525]

The lady that owned passed away last year (which was it's 75th year). They agreed to give everyone one last year to enjoy it, 2023 is the final season.

[@JoshKetchum]

I need to get out there and try this soon

[@Rangerferd]

Love how the Chrysler cut off the Dakota to get the inside lane… and still lost to a pickup truck…

[@wretchedslippage3255]

Theres something dirty in that hearse, baby holy fuck

[@mjking579]

The commentator is roasting everybody

[@blazekcmo913]

sand baggin night

[@cdnmetelhead4013]

None of these vehicles would get beyond the first round at Seekonk.

[@Lunar_Capital]

Local or just a fan? Just came back from there tonight!

[@ChainsawChuck13]

Both SRTs should have been a lot faster. Monte and Dakota were both suffering from cases of Radial T/A Syndrome

[@notsofast5495]

Should’ve had a casket fall out the back of the hearse.

[@heyhihello8310]

A dedicated crowd mic would be great for audio ambiance

[@strokermaverick]

4:10. But the Honda, has VTEC. It was supposed to win!😄

[@GoatSimpulator]

Gotta say though, $500 for a still running 6th gen Civic!? Bet that sold FAST!!! Speaking of fast, that Monte Carlo is badass!!! Love the patina

[@MellowCorn-xs8bn]

[@philburke7116]

[@FULLMETALCAR]

Yo so can you not do that what the delta did ram someone out

[@SidekickZero]

The commentator has to be THE most ignorant about cars...

[@alexyoungberg5232]

*I really hope he didn't drive himself home..*

[@GingerGuy93]

Yeah he was an idiot and a bit annoying lol. Called that black Monte Carlo SS an “Terminator Edition” 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ It’s Intimidator douche 😂😂

[@michaeljr.1538]

Slow cars.

[@skiphardstuff7444]

Frigging guy talk is WAY TOO ANNOYING AND LOUD.. on this race. . Goober..

[@dennisgreiwe2078]

Lol Spectacular drags. Its spec-tater. Like his brain. Tater... Its not spectacular drags, its spectator drags. Lol this announcer is too much

[@MisfitProductions]

Our track has called it Spectacular drags for MANY many years. Because it’s pretty spectacular to see fans take their personal vehicles on the track to race. Both spectacular and spectator are correct ;)
