THE WILDEST SHOW ON WHEELS RETURNS THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!
By: Kip Ripley
The time has come.
It’s an annual right of summer passage in our neck of the woods.
Summer doesn’t start until Rockford Speedway says so.
This Saturday night June 11, the often imitated never duplicated
“wildest show on wheels” returns to Rockford Speedway as LPT Auto
presents the Original Trailer Race of Destruction!
If you’ve seen it before, you want to see it again. If you’ve never
experienced a Trailer Race in person, this is weekend to do it! Cars,
trucks, vans and SUVs pulling boats, campers and travel in a rolling
demo derby and there’s no winner “til the last trailer trails!”
Before the evening’s main event, there’s plenty of red-hot racing
action. The Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models’ 30 lap feature race
pays $1,000 to the winner, thanks to Rockford Stanley Steemer.
Winnebago’s Jake Gille is not only the current Late Model point
leader, but he also pocketed the first $1,000 feature back on Opening
Night May 7 and looks to keep his strong start going this weekend. The
Bargain Hunter Sportsmen, who’ve stole the show each night out, are on
the card this week along with the Kickstart Bandits. The youngsters of
High School Racing make their debut and the night also includes the
return of the Hare and the Hound Challenge Race!
ALL Main Grandstand seating is RESERVED for this Saturday night’s
event, so fans are encouraged to buy their tickets in advance for LPT
Auto’s Original Trailer Race of Destruction. Advance tickets are
available online at rockfordspeedway.com and by phone at 815-633-1500.
General admission seating will be available in the Bleachers on the
