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.

I was planning a trip to Rockford in 2024, unaware it was closing. What a shame it's closed. Breaks my heart.

[@charmaccents6278]

My favorite! Hope we can find another track for the future. Thank you, Misfit!

[@MisfitProductions]

Hope so too!!

[@georgefraserjr1329]

This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, I wasn’t planning a trip to Rockford speedway just to run this race until I saw the other one,such a shame that the track is closing,this stuff is absolute gold,would really like to know if there’s anywhere else that has it,thanks for the video it’s freaking awesome

[@intheshell35ify]

That's why the US will never lose a land war on home soil. We are plain nuts.

[@DJC-System]

Do yall plan in doing an event at another location in the future? This shouldn't end, this is the most American thing I've ever seen.

[@RottenMotorsports]

Central Wisconsin does trailer racing, not sure if misfit will be there. Tomah Sparta speedway will be having one, marshfield motor speedway, golden sands speedway, dells raceway park and Jefferson speedway as well. All have trailer races.

[@trance2007remix]

My heart belongs at the track I miss the races in any form of racing/derby

[@danwalker8341]

Damn what a race this year's figure 8 trailer race will bring a lot of memories no doubt

[@MichelleJoyce-wo2ue]

[@MisfitProductions]

Wish we could have flown it longer.. but we were having some firmware issues that evening.

[@MrLazlness]

This should become americas official sport 😂😂😂. You should rename the title so in 1000 years people will find this and think we were awesome

[@joshuabrooks4907]

awesome.

[@vettewelder]

Dang, Now, that's a trailer race

[@morphman21]

Amen

[@brianjones6500]

I would drive any of of these trailers into positions of happiness. I'd park next to scary Gary and rotate my beer cooler lid toward his favor and any of his kin can snatch a cold cold out; up; cracked; tipped! Green Green Green!

[@MidwestJunkyardRacing]

The Speedrome in Indianapolis has a figure 8 trailer race 3 times a year next one is September 16th

[@The_ZeroLine]

The world’s most dangerous portapotty in the infield there.

Awsome

[@bulgingbattery2050]

I want to give a special shoutout to "mean daddy" and the bandage brothers racing team!

[@The_ZeroLine]

S1apShoes just gave you a big shout out. The drone shots are amazing. This is the type of bi-partisan sledgelastion we can all get behind.

[@ronie1337]

That's some funny shit!

[@79JamesC]

why would you sell this place? the stands are packed in every video I have ever seen

[@3nigmatikx1]

Something or another but I believe the owner passed and either the wife inherited it and sold it or she passed and its the city selling it. Either way a Walmart will take its place or so I read.

[@Sashazur]

@@3nigmatikx1Nobody’s saying we need more Walmarts but there should be figure 8 trailer races in every city!

@@3nigmatikx1 Owner passed away and her kids sold it.

[@CharizardMaster69]

@@rcracing25 like 4 of the 6 kids want it sold

[@christopherduitsman]

​@3nigmatikx1 The husband died back in 1984, so the wife took it over, and then she died this year. The land is going to be redeveloped for commercial purposes.

[@iwrotethis1678]

This is gone but stupid street takeovers is ok?

[@SaintJohns-ze1ev]

The Final?

[@satchuck]

Hopefully the final of the first chapter or something like that

[@morphman21]

Rockford speedway got sold and this is the final trailer for Rockford speedway

[@SaintJohns-ze1ev]

@@morphman21 why would you buy the speedway and discontinue THIS. I demand they keep it. Do I have that authority? I should because I've watched more of this videos than anyone on the planet and that is probably not that big of an exaggeration

[@206dave4]

Glad I’m not the guy that has to clean up that mess!

[@AndrewHartings]

​@@SaintJohns-ze1evthe track is closing and being torn down.

[@MichelleJoyce-wo2ue]

Is anyone doing something to save the track?

[@nickpatrick1636]

No

[@Fetidaf]

There’s nothing to be done. It’s sold and has already been split up and planned out.

[@McCracken_9]

Why?

[@ronaldstrange8981]

If they bothered to use their indicators and observe the speed limit, there would be less accidents. How on earth did these drivers ever pass a driving test? Or did they? Here is England, we always show respect to other drivers and there has never, ever been a single accident over here. Admittedly, one driver did scratch his paintwork once and another damaged his fender. Kind regards from an 87 year old Englishman who wonders whether Joe Biden could ever pass a driving examination. He gives the impression of being senile, so, I somewhow doubt it. September, 2023.
