LOVES PARK, Ill. (Friday, October 15th, 2010) – With many Midwestern tracks putting a bow on their season and wrapping things up, the 19th edition of the always festive Bahama Bracket Nationals at the legendary Rockford Speedway present one last chance at glory, redemption, or in many cases, fun racing for several drivers from around the region.

The entry form for the 19th annual Bahama Bracket Nationals are now available at www.rockfordspeedway.com. The event taking place at Rockford Speedway October 16 and 17 is a favorite amongst true grassroots racers as it groups cars together by their speed, not division, providing some of the most intense racing seen all season long. New for 2010 is a 4 cylinder only division, What Happens at the Bahamas, Stays at the Bahamas!

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Wednesday, October 14th, 2009) - When drivers make their way into Victory Lane this weekend at Rockford Speedway during the 18th annual Bahama Bracket Nationals, they will be rewarded with a TIKI brand torch for their efforts. This unique trophy fits nicely with this special event which features groups of cars in racing brackets that are based on their qualifying speed rather than by a set division.

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Monday, September 14, 2009) -- Competitors will have a unique way of earning a starting position during the 18th annual Bahama Bracket Nationals October 17 and 18 at Rockford Speedway, as they will be able to sing their way to a starting spot. Three drivers from each bracket will have the opportunity to earn one feature starting position per bracket by taking the microphone and belting out their favorite song for the Bud Light Last Blast Race Party crowd following racing action Saturday night at the quarter-mile high banked oval.
