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.

they need to do this with kids in the busses best afterschool activity

[@user-ey2ei5yv3f]

They would love it, I think seatbelts should be worn.

New form of detention 😂😂😂

[@kolynreinhart4987]

depending on how it ends probably their last afterschool activity

That was by far the best bus race I have watched..Loved the drone...Congrats to Gary for his historical last win on the now retired #66 bus..Man I'm gonna miss this....YourFavCanFan

[@bigyodatheman]

Black Bus got screwed. He ran away with this thing and the 66 never got close.

[@user-yi7zj3lv5t]

damn, knowing rockford is closing just as drone footage is beginning to be a thing...

[@user-mf1we9mh3o]

Just to be able to say "Oh I totally wrecked a school bus!" is a great line!!!!

[@ronaldstrange8981]

If they bothered to use their indicators and signal their intentions, there would be fewer accidents.

Pretty sure the purpose of this is for there to be accidents

He was wheeling that big beautiful American turd towards the end.

[@SteelJM1]

For sale: 1 slightly used schoolbus. Ran when parked. $28,000. I know what I got.

[@LITTLE1994]

Definitely an intense race. Awesome action.

[@bibasik7]

Reminds me of a mobile game I used to play called Bus Derby

[@pamartin]

"We need some cold water!" 😂😂😂

[@charmaccents6278]

Awesome! I sort of thought the figure 8 school bus race was supposed to be like the trailer races or demolition derby. Anyway, great job and I hope the speedway gets saved or you guys can find a different place. TY.

[@user-ro5mw9qr1y]

People would be a lot calmer if we had more of these shows

unbelievable the c2s are already getting demo derbied they were brand new when I first started school and they came out in 2004 lol I feel way too old now

[@DaPlenThing]

I swear the c2s are taking over And also I feel like they’re always broken down

[@jrin12]

I know it's crazy and sad at the same time

[@UahUahUah]

@@DaPlenThing The Thomas C2 is here to stay for quite some time. It's the most aerodynamically advantaged bus in the United States that is available for purchase and assembly within a year's time. Districts love them and they will keep fixing them just as they did the old Blue Bird SBCV's.

[@caseyc8603]

@@UahUahUah I install 2 way radios on these busses brand new is another reason it's so crazy to see it in a demo derby but I bet the electronics are why this one failed so early in the figure 8, poor thing would have won had it not been electronically challenged

That’s actually the first one I’ve ever seen in a bus race lol
