LOVES PARK, IL (Saturday, May 16, 2009) – When Ricky “the Rocket” Bilderback was asked before the season how many feature wins he thought he would accumulate at Rockford Speedway in 2009, his answer was ten. After grabbing his second Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Model feature win of the young season, Bilderback may well be on his way there. Bilderback cruised to an easy victory in front of a packed house as rookie Kyle Lapier and John Logan Jr. brought home the night’s other feature events.

Last season in the Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Model division at the Rockford Speedway, eight of the top 10 drivers in the final point standings would score a feature win in the ultra-competitive premier division at the high-naked quarter mile. One of the two drivers left out of the victory circle last season was 3rd place points man Jon Reynolds Jr. After finishing second on opening week to seven-time Track Champion Ricky Bilderback, you figured it wouldn't be long before Reynolds found the checkers.

LOVES PARK, IL (Saturday, May 2, 2009) – Many people consider the number seven to be lucky but for Ricky Bilderback, the lucky number is eight, as in eight NASCAR Late Model championships at the historic Rockford Speedway. The 43-year-old Rockton native is sitting on seven championships entering the 2009 season and an eighth would give Bilderback the most titles in the history of the premiere division at the Rockford Speedway, a history that spans 62 years and counting.
