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.
Reminds me of when I was a school bus driver.
you mean..
Good ol days of taking kids to this instead of the field trips so they can scream in fear
wait... you used to crash school buses with kids in them?
@@projecttdx44 he means with only the really bad kids….he’s like the Krampus. They unknowingly all board his bus👹
@@projecttdx44 r/whoosh
The one kid in bus:Please let this be a normal field trip.Misfit Productions:NO WAY
Classic
*proceeds to get hit by another bus*
Will if this is not the most redneck hillbilly thing. I have ever seen. I LOVE IT
I love my hillbilly buds! Bluegrass, Scotch and Irish soul music, imho.
There’s figure 8 boat trailer races too
**Dayumn these new wreckfest graphics hit hard**
Lol
Thank you so much for these. I get so much pleasure. From an 87 year old Englishman. January, 2024.
That little JCB is impressive 🤣🤣
every bus driver needs to take this defense course lol
They tip right over with a sleight hit. Glad our children are safe!!
Well, if they rode buses they inhaled a whole lot of diesel smoke particulate. Caused a lot of lung challenges. Why is it We the People have to get emissions tests and wear seat belts, but not on gummint run skool buses?! Just asking...
Yet they are also the safest (:
These are older buses, they don’t have the same suspension and they have better technology and aren’t driven at the limit.
@@jackwyatt1218 seat belts on school buses are more dangerous.
when smacked by a 15 ton vehicle, you're probably gonna tip, too. school buses are actually very safe, though.
" a BUS drove into a lake, it turned into a SUB"🤣🤣🤣
Nostalgia of playing test drive eve of destruction on ps2 as a kid and getting to destroy compact cars in a bus
That game is still one of the all time best demo derby games. Wreckfest has it beat when it comes to damage model, but the event variety and career mode of Eve of Destruction still can't be beat. Though Wreckfest does have better damage overall, I did really like how in Eve of Destruction damage carried over from event to event in career mode. Shame the bus race was only on the oval tracks though, something Wreckfest does better allowing it not just on the figure 8s, but any track!
Whoever the cameraman is KEEP THEM. Much better than the camper figure 8 races footage
Man I miss going to the Speedway for this stuff. So much fun.
So much fun and I just love the announcer, too! Thank you for bringing us these videos.
thanks for sharing this fun with the world. it is very much appreciated.
The announcers great. He's perfect for the job. He's funny.
the daily commute would be so much better if we had more figure 8s on some of our roads and highways!
$ff
US form of Banger Racing!
Hialeah Speedway in Hialeah, FL used to have the figure 8 school bus derbies. Incredible times when that track still stood and now it's a WalMart parking lot.
I live in Hialeah!!!!!
I realized that I was smiling all the way through the whole race
Just when you thought you'd seen it all 😆
My favorite derby of em all
I wanna race a school bus like that
i wouldn’t lift either lol 🤣
Born at Swedish American 1961 first crash I saw there was my uncle Mitch Rumore's car in '66 Flipped on its roof in the second turn Black and White car I think. Might of been 67, 68
Crazy. We need more of this.
I love all those guys, they are heroes
WE FLIPPED THE BUS!
This is what the parking lot of the bus barn is like at 6am on Monday mornings...
Hahaha yep, I've seen it!!
Best 12 minutes ever
Get to your local race track boys and girls! There’s nothing more fun in the whole world!
Cool 🎉
New track lights look great!
My daughter's idiot boyfriend bought a bus a couple of years ago to make into a camper. I think these buses are in better shape than his.
What's it like now?
@@morphman21 Sitting at his parents house: not running.
Funny how kids get grand ideas but don't bother to research or plan. My cousin had one of those boyfriends. At least his problem was too many hours at work and no understanding of trades.
@@casey5165 The school bus camper is a fad now. We tried to explain to them that a van would be a good idea because we have the AAA super duper platinum option and we could get them towed back home if they had problems. AAA doesn't work with commercial vehicles, but they didn't care.
@@the_mowron Sounds like something my dumb ass would do, including the part about it sitting at the parent's not running.
The European mind simply cannot comprehend
I was here when the race happens
Your patios are so cool like I love them and my brother we can’t stop saying that we like to see about monster trucks and my brother is obsessed with monster trucks
Miss Fritter 🚌 from Thunder Hollow in Cars 3 🚗
I love the Rex
"Please let this be a normal field trip. With the Frizz, no way!" The field trip:
Those crashes on them 13 ton buses are crazy to watch.
Sad the track is being demolished tge videos were fun to watch
Great video production with the dash cam cut-ins.
My Elementary Bus Drive Would Totally Win This 😏
I have one of my Grandson's with me today (age 5) This was the first bus race he has ever seen..He thought it was awesome..I laughed when Eric said ''Is it possible that no one is in the lead?'' My Grandson said ''Why is that guy talking?'' 😂By the end he was yelling ''WHOA'' when the buses were in the middle before Eric did...🤣I may have a future announcer here..🤣🤣🤣FromYourFavCanFan
Nice vid!
This looks like demolition I’m glad it’s coming back man ima watch these old days
They killed the short bus. Guess Timmy aint makin it to school. The green bus won
Hey from New Mexico. We love this channel. The races are so much fun to watch.
I was rooting for the little green nug :( XD
I was there when it happened I love Rockford speedway but it is closing soon because the owner died a few months ago😢
😰
1:58 AAAASS!
Aye I've been here in 2019, we saw a bus get flipped over and there was a huge crash on the front stretch. The bus was destroyed. Rockford speedway is really fun
"Pls let this be normal field trip"
I get the vibes of thunder hollow while watching the video...😅😅
One place I never got around to seeing when I lived in Rockford
It's really like watching Wreckfest.
Night of Thrills at Rockford Speedway featuring Figure 8 School Bus Racing with NEW Track Lights sounds like an exhilarating event! Can't wait to see the action under the lights as these behemoth buses battle it out on the figure 8 track!
Damn they took the short bus out first
I kinda hoped scary gary would start again
Hell yes 😂❤
have mercy! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else play Driven to Destruction on ps2? This shit always brings back those memories
I remember the destruction at Santa Fe racetrack
Very very violent
looks like fun, thank you
It was!
1.1m views and only 34k subs. Thats a head scratcher.
“ITS FRITTER TIME”
Fun Fact: This took place in the IRL Thunder Hollow from Cars 3
scary gary was rlly going mach 2 in a school bus
First round bus rollover
Normal day of wreckfest
Salam
❤❤❤
That’s awesome haha
It’s good to see the 666 bus on its back.
I WANT My own bus!!!!!
I know i'm late seeing this one. Figure 8 bus races are fun to watch and and think they are even better when your the one driving except when you get flipped over
Hey I was there!
Imagine that, the short bus is the the first to flip.
Nice vid
Not sure what it is but the announcer sounds like Michael from GTA V at times lol
holy cowabunga
And this is how I got to school
Cool
When they do bus figure 8 here there's like 4 busses and they don't even hit each other at all.
Anyone else getting test-drive eve of destruction vibes
🤘🤘🤘
*the blue danube starts playing*
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
Kids : I would be the best bus driver also kids :
Because of the blessings of Jesus/God on America. There’s no country on earth that’s creative with their entertainment as America.
uhhh no
cool
i neer thought of these events as races, much more as last man standing.
POV my bus ride 😂
Are those school buses?
I like you wheels I hope you both know it
My very first bus race was a head-on it the x55 my second one was somebody flipped me over to my third bus race I thought when it is so cool that they put me over I flipped it myself but Don Jerome said if I flipped another when he wouldn't give me another one so I just started doing Shenanigans after that 12-11 in Bithlo Florida 23 years of racing 11 on Spike TV car apocalypse
I’m too busy watching to research but where is Rockford speedway? The announcer is fantastic too!
Loves Park Illinois, just north of Rockford Illinois.
Just outside of Rockford Illinois this is the last year for it after 50 Years Day closing it up it's going to be some kind of industrial park vs Business development 😠
What a shame. They closed a bunch of local tracks in my area as well. Thanks for the info @@truckerkevthepaidtourist
4:02 "666...The number of the bus!"
I once had a bus driver who would always have one hand on her laptop keyboard and the other in the mess of hair on her head. The bus sounded like it was going to literally fall apart at any moment too.
Pretty sure all busses sound like that
This was a different bus than what I had been used to. Whenever a school bus broke down or needed maintenance, my school bus was always the one to have to replace it. This meant that everyone on my bus had to ride a different bus.
did they ever pickup the kids for school?
I’m actually from Rockford but unfortunately, I moved so I can’t see the best races ever. My uncle is a racer there to he is number 51 but he quit and his name was Chris
That in Illinois
@@craigcromer3931 I know it is
@@klaybaby9761 I was asking if it was
@@craigcromer3931 yes it is, sorry for the misunderstanding.
@@klaybaby9761 no problem thanks
