LOVES PARK, Ill. (Saturday, June 11th, 2011) – Ryan Carlson probably couldn’t have dreamt a much better ending to his birthday than winding up in victory lane for a second consecutive weekend. There’s no need for ‘RC’ to dream however as the points leader set fast time, grabbed the early lead in the Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models 30-lap main event, and held off a surging Tim Sargent late en route to a birthday celebration in the Rockford Speedway winner’s circle tonight.

Loves Park, IL- The midweek summer tradition of Wild Wednesday night racing at Rockford Speedway continues in 2011 with the first of nine summertime events taking place this upcoming Wednesday night June 15 at the quarter mile paved high banked oval. The RoadRunner Super Summer Series, Winged Women on Wheels and Figure 8 purse structure will remain the same as last season, with the RoadRunner feature winner taking home $100. The Legends, Bandoleros, Misfits and Bandits will be racing under a new increased structure, outlined below.

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Saturday, June 4th, 2011) – Ryan Carlson needed to bounce back from last weekend’s mayhem that resulted in two wrecked cars – finding his way to victory lane in the 30-lap Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models main event certainly took care of that objective as the points leader held off a lightning fast Jerry Gille en route to his first feature win of 2011 at the Rockford Speedway.

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Saturday, May 28th, 2011) -- Jerry Gille didn't have his engine, didn't have the fastest car, and didn't have much of a lead with five laps remaining tonight at the Rockford Speedway. And yet, none of that really mattered because in the end, the former two-time Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models champion did what he often does, using some veteran guile to fend off a hard charging Jon Reynolds Jr. and find his way back to victory lane for the first time in 2011.

Saturday May 28 is the first kids’ night of the 2011 Rockford Speedway season, allowing children ages 11 and under into the NASCAR Races free of charge. Kids will want to arrive by 6:30 and bring their chalk so they can chalk draw on the track, plus the first 500 kids will receive a NASCAR 1:64 scale diecast racecar. The night will feature the NASCAR Stanley Steemer Late Models, Bargain Hunter Sportsman, Mtn Dew RoadRunners, the Sam’s Drive-In Stop ‘N Go Race and will be capped off by the School Bus Jump. Spectator gates open at 5, qualifying is at 5:55, chalk drawing at 6:30 and the first big race is at 7:07. Adult general admission tickets are $12, students ages 12-17 are $8 with kids 11 and under free. Visit www.rockfordspeedway.com or call the Speedway Box Office at 815-633-1500 for more information.
