LOVES PARK, IL (Saturday, July 11, 2009) – Jake Vicencio held off a hard charging Allen Bekielewski to collect his first career win tonight in the Crap Scrappers Hornets main event on Cricket Wireless’ Mid Summer’s Night Scream at the Rockford Speedway. Doug Rose put on a great show in his legendary Green Mamba Jet Car.

LOVES PARK, IL (Wednesday, July 8, 2009) - Due to constant rain at the Rockford Speedway, combined with unseasonably cool temperatures, Speedway officials have decided to cancel tonight’s Equipment Depot Petrol-Palooza Wild Wednesday program. Local radar indicated this system would not move out of the area until just after race time.

Racing action will resume this Saturday night with the Cricket Wireless Mid-Summer’s Night Scream. Wild Wednesday racing continues next Wednesday night. For more information visit www.rockfordspeedway.com.
