MORE MONEY FOR ROCKFORD RACERS IN 2022!
By: Russ Wheeler
As we all know, things have not been easy financially over the course
of the last 24 months.
A worldwide pandemic, job loss, rising costs of food, gas and
utilities have taken a toll on all of us in one way or another.
But rest assured, in a news cycle filled with gloom and doom, there is
some good news on the horizon.
Officials at Rockford Speedway are proud to announce purse increases
for ALL NASCAR sanctioned divisions in 2022. In addition, NASCAR Late
Model drivers are scheduled to race for $1000 to win on four different
nights throughout the summer!
Also, for a fourth consecutive year, there will be NO increase in the
price of a Pit Pass and there’s NO increase in admission prices for
grandstand tickets in 2022!
As mentioned earlier, the NASCAR Late Model division races for $1000
to win on four different occasions in 2022. Those big paydays for Late
Model drivers are slated for the following events…
Saturday May 7 – 75th NASCAR Season Opener
Saturday June 11 – Original Trailer Race of Destruction
Saturday August 6 – World Famous Figure 8 Trailer Race
Saturday August 27 – Beatin’ & Bangin’ Boat Race Night
The $1000 to win Late Model races are made possible thanks to the
support of Stanley Steemer (June 11 & August 27) and Fitzgerald
Equipment (May 7 & August 6).

The first green flag of the 2022 season waves on Saturday night April
23, with the 45th Annual Spring Classic at Rockford Speedway,
highlighted by an 88-lap Big 8 Late Model Series feature. The Mid Am
Racing Series and Bandits are also on the card. Racing is set to start
at 5 PM that night, making it the first ever Spring Classic to be run
at night.
The 75th Season officially gets kick started on Saturday night May 7
with the $1000 to win NASCAR Late Model feature presented by
Fitzgerald Equipment plus Sportsmen, American Short Trackers,
Roadrunners and Bandits. Race time is set for 7:07 PM.
