LOVES PARK, Ill. (Sunday, July 3rd, 2011) -- 'Better than most' is all Jimmy McCune could say when asked to describe his Fourth of July weekend. The Toledo, Ohio hotshoe certainly wont forget this summer holiday anytime soon after inheriting the lead in tonight's Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Car Series 'Instant Jungle 50', surviving a late restart with 14 laps remaining, and never looking back on the way to his second win in as many nights.

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Saturday, July 2nd, 2011) -- Jon Reynolds Jr. finally capitalized -- the fast qualifier took advantage of an explosive ride and ended a string of bad luck that had held him winless into the month of July with a victory in the Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models Nason's Landscaping 'Star Spangled 76' tonight at the Rockford Speedway. 'Driver X' certainly enjoyed taking the checkered flag after accepting the 'Gerber Collision & Glass Challenge' during pre-race ceremonies, starting in the back of the pack, and eventually driving to the front on the way to the winner's circle where he collected a cool grand on top of the normal payday reserved for the victor.

Dennis Smith Jr. managed to keep his machine on the right path en route to a season-opening National Figure 8 League feature victory.

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Wednesday, June 29th, 2011) -- Kris Nilson may have gotten a late start to his 2011 season but the Mtn Dew RoadRunner hotshoe is sure making up for lost time. The veteran put together a strong showing going wire-to-wire to grab the initial 25-lap Mtn Dew RoadRunner Super Summer Series headliner just four days after driving to victory lane in Saturday night's main event.

Jason Dull kicked off his summer the right way, riding around and crossing the finish line third before inheriting the win after the top two finishers were disqualified in the Bandits' Wild Wednesday debut. In the inaugural Misfits main event, Tim Roach slipped past the slowed machine of Jason Dull to steal the trophy in exciting fashion.

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Saturday, June 25th, 2011) -- On a night upon which the Rockford Speedway Midseason Champions were crowned, invading Midwestern journeyman James Swan fended off two Rockford contenders en route to the winner's circle. Swan endured late race challenges from current points leader Ryan Carlson and two-time Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models champion Jerry Gille on the way to his first career late model victory on the high banks, grabbing the 30-lap showdown and throwing his name in the gauntlet for the title of Gilley's Cool 5 Series victor come October.

Due to a system of storms that hit the stateline this evening and more inclement weather on its way, the Rockford Speedway has canceled its Wild Wednesday program for tonight.

Fans can use their ticket stubs from tonight's action for either of the next two Wild Wednesdays. Drivers and crew members can use tonight's pit passes for next Wednesday night's racing program.

'Caterpillar' Miller prevailed in the battle of attrition that was the Original Trailer Race of Destruction.

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Saturday, June 18th, 2011) -- On a night of destruction, Jerry Gille admitted he had to survive an encounter with the outside wall to find his way through a narrow hole en route to the winner's circle for the Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models main event. With fans packed into the historic Rockford Speedway for the Kar Korner Original Trailer Race of Destruction, Gille wowed the crowd with his aggressive maneuvers amidst heavy traffic before the veteran tracked down Mark Hartline and made a late race pass for his second feature win of the season.
