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.

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. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

The guy talking its the best part. He really makes the races more exciting.
The addition of the drone footage prior to start is amazing! The wraparound views of the cars make the video. I just love Rockford speedway !!
😊😊
I was so confused, I couldn't find the drone..
That drone footage changes the game - need more of that!
Boy! Really stepped up the game since the last time I saw one of your videos.
The different camera angles are top quality.
this looks pretty fun honestly
The track side footage is amazing too
I don't know how I got to this video...but I love it
Was fun night I am one driving Blue STI got beat finals to Corvette. STI to front
1st of 3 you got screwed even if he did give it back
what is your first language?
Nice run.. keep at it your car is fast
You got robbed bro.
Sounds like Dodge excuses
the drone footage looks great. deff a game changer!!! keep it up
Thank you guys for the awesome camera angles! Makes me feel like I'm there
These new footage angles are amazing.
I like the added track view!!
The Corvette jumped in finals on race 1. Should been STI that won
I agree but Subaru had AWD which is a big advantage and inside lane on the rounds to the final. What the Corvette did on the 3rd final lap was immense as he cornered better than the Subaru to win it.
@@studio-flash Yeah the Corvette wins the Balls of Steel award, but the first race of the finals should have been thrown out.
Well, the Subaru jumped the Focus, so...
that dude with the red trans am and no hood should have been disqualified!!!
If I had to guess, "High School Harry" is still in High School. Dude needs to acknowledge that there are other cars on the track, or get off that track.
Win or go home 🤷 rubbins racing
Race 1 of 3 vette jumped too early. Love watching this content. Thank you.
Obviously the first race was a DQ. The Subaru got robbed.
this is so addicting to watch
Notice how the smart racers, buick, cobalt, convertible vette, stay outside and carry speed through the corner and accelerate on their way out. It's the longest line. But it's also the fastest.
Nissan Xterra driver here: They always line me up against fast cars, first that awd Jeep and this Continental.
I REALLY wish they would at least match the vehicles a bit better on the first round!
BUT, I assume they "draw straws?"
Very, very cool! Kickin it olde skool
Most impressed by how that Corvair kept up with that Challenger. It lost, but that old Corvair can move!
that Corvair had a giant motor in the backseat with him, that Challenger wouldn’t have won if the Corvair driver wasn’t a bit timid on the throttle
This has got to be the best race track... ever!
That’s a lot of action for a short track! Lot of fun for the fans! - If you enjoy motor racing try the song, Just Good Ole Boys in Fast Cars Having Fun! #spectatordrag #indycar #nascar
That corvette drive the shit outta that car 💯
Wow!! Amazing. Never figured the Corvette would take the win from that Subaru Rally car.
That Focus would've destroyed that Subaru too if he was paying attention at the start of the race.
It didn't. The vette got a freebie on that total false start.
Chase is a race 🏆
Ya man the 1080hd makes the cars paint jobs look so looks so purdy good shit to the drivers for getting them all washed up!!!
I wanna live in Rockford.
I took World fastest Focus to school. STI to front
U should've beaten the Corvette I was rooting for u there, I don't think that 335i gave it all either
I get such a kick out of Eric's announcing..''I don't care how brave he is, Highschool Harry needs new underpants !! 🤣From.. YourFavCanFan
Thats a focus RS, good power and awd
"High school Harry" should have been D.Q'ed for racing the Camaro the way he did. Also needs a ban from the track. Dangerous driving
i had the challenger i was scared to even race that hoodless pos dude tried to run the camaro into the wall. not worth risking your daily for races against people who don’t give a dam about their car. racing that corvair was a lot of fun though that thing had the engine in the back seat with a full roll cage and sequential shifter
that BUICK REGAL
HA Damn... That was one hell of a last 2 outa 3. Man 🤘🤘
Corvette earned that plastic. Pretty consistent, and AWD is hard to beat on a track this size. Entertaining group!
Disagree. He brutally jumped in the first race of the final.
@@JB-- EXACTLY. He LOST the first race by leaving BEFORE the flag. Subaru SHOULD have been given that round as well as the second!
The first race of the finals should have been thrown out. The Corvette jumped by a car length.
Vette jumped I'm owner of STI I should just sat there but I left which made race
@@KGrizzle187 Point taken. Hope you get a well-deserved rematch!
I imagine Highschool Harry is the real life Ricky from TPBs. 😅 Take his keys from him. But then give him a movie deal.
The new camera angles are great but tbh I want to hear the cars that announcer can be turned waaaay down... just $0.02
Subaru you gave that one away
My father used to race AA fuel altered here many years ago. He is from Rockford.
Tracks all beat up. Haha
The announcer thinks he is the wittiest man alive, and the volume of his voice increases wit by 10%.
That focus falling a sleep at the wheel on that start lol. He would have won if he had paid attention
Does the announcer know anything about cars?
Ikr he called the GTO a grand prix lol
Oh well, you do know what PONTIAC stands for anyway, right? Poor Old N Thinks It's A Cadillac.
@@kkoch666 that might be the worst vehicle acronym I’ve ever seen.
@@RarelyReplies and most offensive! 👍
@@kkoch666 offensive? If someone is offended by that or anything close, you’re a snowflake. I remember being in middle school in the 80s and kids would say things like Found On Road Dead and arguing over Ford and Chevy trucks. Dumb then. Dumb now
One of my favorite cars at 10:37
how can the driver at the outside win? He's driving a lot farther I dont get it. He should have a 10 foot or more lead+
Buick out of pity. The announcer apparently doesn't know much about a Buick of any kind. The 3.8 was Supercharged in some of them.
The fast line is up high on this track. It gives me anxiety watching everyone take the awkward low line.
Favorite car #2 at 12:47
The announcer makes these videos impossible to watch with the sound on.
First one to the corner wins.
corvair should of had the scatpac in a bag . Got spanked by a TANK!!!!
The Focus driver was focused on high school Harry's hair instead of focusing on the starter.
I like the drone footage it must be real cause it looks so fake.
Dodge Wagon?
... Magnum.
But, guess either or works.
lol that was really fun. thanks and tell ya man it's spectator not spectacular lol
For insurance reasons, it’s “spectacular drags” haha
@@MisfitProductions right. gotcha👌
Since the Subaru is meant for this kind of small race with its AWD it’s obviously going to get a better start and traction on corners along with about 300 horses and that huge spoiler for downforce. Having said that the C4 Corvette was immense, yes he did jump one start but the final 3rd round the Corvette looked like he was cornering better than the Subaru. Also the Subaru almost entirely had inside lane on the races throughout the rounds, which is again an advantage. All good fun and just goes to show how adaptable those Corvettes were.
I think that's a old ZR1 Vette
@@spankthemonkey3437no just a base LT1 Vette.
@@jeffflaig362 I don't think a base model runs like that🤣 I've seen base model vettes of the 4th gen run unless it's a zr1 it's slow🤷
@@jeffflaig362 the zr1 has a quad cam 400hp engine it was fast like this one
@@spankthemonkey3437 I know what a zr1 is. I've had several c4 vettes. This is definitely a base model 92 to 96 LT1 car
IF that subie didnt jump that Focus would have walked the fuck away!
When is the next race ? I’d like to come out there.
As in THE BLAZER that I’ve seen racing at the Freedom Factory and Seekonk???
Next Spectator Drags races are on:
August 19th, September 16th, and October 28th.
No 2024 racing/schedule due to track closer…
Who is the track announcer?
Dan Rather
That Buick had to have had that LS in it.
I don't think the Regal ever received the LS4
Most likely a Supercharged 3800.
"if he wouldnt have done a burnout maybe hed have more traction" 21:50 Does the guy with the mic even understand the concept of racing? I understand if you're not a car guy, but you'd think he at least wonder why THEY DO BURNOUTS before they lineup AT EVERY DRAG STRIP. Let me keep it short for ya skinny, burnout=heat heat=friction friction=traction. Nobodys trying to "impress the highschool girls".... Like you notice the guys that do even a slight rip before they lineup, always have the jump. And sometimes the jump equals the win. Little thing called a holeshot in MX racing.
Thought that only applies to drag radials... these are street cars on street tires
@nthgth it's most effective and widely applied in drag racing, but no matter what you definitely want your tires warmed up. You never want cold tires, and you don't want your tires too hot either
@@dreroberts728 huh, I didn't know that.
You mean that even normal street tires have more grip if they're hot?
And doing a burnout adds more grip from temperature than it removes from wear?
I'm in no position to argue.
Camaro is a winner 🥇
Thumbnail car at 14:04
This announcer was actually funny and nice to listen too but could be better if it wasnt as loud. I wanna hear them CARS BABY
1st round pontiac needs to hang up his spurs, getting trolled by a regal... wow
If that Focus wasnt slacking he'd have beat that STI
pretty sure that was an eagle talon not a Mitsubishi
no it was a first gen Eclispe
Correct first gen eclipse, but same thing anyways lol
that guy screaming is giving me a headache
I think focus st would have beat vette if he wasn’t sleeping on sti.
The 335i wasn't giving it it's all either
No I got way more power than the focus. Also it's Def not fastest Focus it was just loud
Focus wins that race vs the STI. Run the times for each race. Consistency faster. It actually wasn't even that close.
Not all about the power
@@KGrizzle187 you won yes but the focus was getting through the corners visibly faster than you. The head start sealed the win for you. Only by one car as well.
So sick of awd cars winning.
It's basically a cheater car
The problem is the people that have the fast cars don't know how to drive and so this is the worst place to bring a performance car if you don't have any skills.
I'm gay
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Go, U.S. Cars!
4g63 the legendary v8 killer!
Needs that AWD traction too
Fact, mustangs and corvettes get beaten every day on the street, none of them are fast, their owners egos are bigger than their own heads are. It's fun watching them get all pissy when they lose, especially if they spent a fortune on their car and they get beat by a Honda with 2 grand of motor work done to it, puts a smile on my face every time
Your comment is so wrong, this C4 Corvette is an old car and the Subaru has a huge advantage of AWD a huge spoiler but on the final 3rd lap the Corvette cornered much better to win. Corvettes through each generation are faster than Porsche 911’s mustangs BMWs etc.
Fact, you are what's wrong with car culture
