Since the inaugural season in 1948, the high-banked quarter mile oval has been tabbed as “Mid-America’s Finest Racetrack.” Rich in racing tradition, this reputation has been well earned through hosting major events like the granddaddy of all short track post season events, the National Short Track Championships.

The racing is sanctioned by the National Association of Stock Car Racing, NASCAR. Rockford Speedway participates in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series. The divisions that compete at the Rockford Speedway includes: Late Model, Sportsman, American Short Trackers, Road Runners, Hornets, Bandits, Winged Women on Wheels and Figure 8’s. The track also hosts many different touring series including: ARCA Midwest Tour, Big 8 late Model Series, Mid-American Stock Car Series, Illini Racing Series Midgets, Super Cups and more.
Focused on entertaining the fans, Rockford Speedway’s family-oriented racing schedule is nationally known for its innovative events like the ‘Original Trailer Race of Destruction,’ ‘World Famous Figure 8 Trailer Race’ and ‘Night of Thrills.’ The Speedway also welcomes nationally-known monster trucks like Tail Gator, Devastator and Mechanical Mischief along with Doug Rose and his world famous Green Mamba Jet Car.
The Speedway is a quarter-mile, high-banked, asphalt race track with fan-friendly grandstand seating on both sides. The facility has been used for circuses, concerts, car shows, sporting events, swap meets, outdoor sales and numerous community fundraising events. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Bless the algorithm for sending me this gem today. Go Gary Go!
This is actual footage of what it was like riding a bus to school in the 80s
And the 90's! haha
or in Rockford today
Can confirm
Driver smoking a cigarette?
I could see Jeremy Clarkson in one of those busses!
nothin' but some pure American fun right here..! 🏁 Scary Gary is legendary.
He's a real live wire ain't he😂😂
@@cappbizzness4139no doubt😂😂
That was by far the best bus race I have watched..Loved the drone...Congrats to Gary for his historical last win on the now retired #66 bus..Man I'm gonna miss this....YourFavCanFan
Black Bus got screwed. He ran away with this thing and the 66 never got close.
Pretty accurate representation of the student parking at 3:02 PM
I have no idea what they're saying, but I'm Japanese and I understand why they're so excited.
"That's my expert commentary for this race: WHOA" : 11:28
I'm American, and that's the same way I feel when I hear someone speaking Japanese.. 😂
Me too, greets from Germany
damn, knowing rockford is closing just as drone footage is beginning to be a thing...
Going to miss very much watching videos from The Rockford. 😢 Things will never be like the old world.
Somebody please save the speedway 😢
Same 😢😢
We tried but we couldn’t
You should have bought it
Sorry, but we had to make room for B*den's voters (illegal immigrants and Pro-p@lestinian supp@rters).
Try harder.
“SCOOTER KNOCKED THE TOILET OVER, ALRIGHT!” - things I didn’t think I’d hear but didn’t know I needed to hear.
america still has a few redeeming qualities
Had, Rockfords closing
7:00
Driver A: gets out of bus to check on driver of flipped bus
Driver B: gets out of bus to take photo of his bus
Wow the crowd is loving this and so am I.
they need to do this with kids in the busses
best afterschool activity
They would love it, I think seatbelts should be worn.
New form of detention 😂😂😂
depending on how it ends probably their last afterschool activity
Never have I needed something so badly and not known it existed. This is incredible.
You need to see the Australian semi truck racing circuit ...
I didn't know school bus racing was a thing but man this was great to watch!
"Now I see why you people like this" XD Love this commentator
5:03
If they bothered to use their indicators and signal their intentions, there would be fewer accidents.
please excuse your dumb@ss from us
Pretty sure the purpose of this is for there to be accidents
@@angryox3102 It was my feeble attempt at a little English humour Sir. I do get so much genuine pleasure from watching. Regards.
LOL
😂
This Is literally Wreckfest!! 😂😂 Dope
It's not Wreckfest unless at least one of them is going the wrong way 😂
@@IndiBrony And one guy is purposely blocking the middle
Literally what I thought when I saw the thumbnail lmao
Drone footage is just perfect for events like this lol!
Just to be able to say "Oh I totally wrecked a school bus!" is a great line!!!!
This is the first time I have ever seen school buses racing. Awesome 😊
Thank you CZcams algorithm for showing me this!😃👍
For sale: 1 slightly used schoolbus. Ran when parked. $28,000. I know what I got.
😂
Wreckfest is a great game 😊
This is why America is the best country in the world
Definitely an intense race. Awesome action.
People would be a lot calmer if we had more of these shows
This kind of fun is so awesome....it should be illegal....hehehehehe
The near misses were as epic as the crashes.
So cool!! I think Scary Gary is an icon!!😂😂😂
2 words: Scary Gary.
Yes we love scary Gary
He was wheeling that big beautiful American turd towards the end.
Jimmy's bus looked in the best condition intill he flipped
Awesome! I sort of thought the figure 8 school bus race was supposed to be like the trailer races or demolition derby. Anyway, great job and I hope the speedway gets saved or you guys can find a different place. TY.
I grew up in Rockford. Nice to see it cranking out culture still. Good stuff thanks!
This is actually so fun to watch with my friends.
That was pure bananas. Are the youtube algo's working good again? I haven't been this pleased with an algo video for years.
Ah the joys of rich American culture…..
I don't think many rich people partake in stuff like this
Scary Gary obviously is serious about his craft 😂💪🏽
i love the drone shots. freaking brilliant point of view
Very interesting 🤔 content guys. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Most entertaining thing I’ve seen all year 😂😂😂
"ok kids, next week we'll be going on a field trip to the race track. just need some waivers signed"
unbelievable the c2s are already getting demo derbied they were brand new when I first started school and they came out in 2004 lol I feel way too old now
I swear the c2s are taking over
And also I feel like they’re always broken down
I know it's crazy and sad at the same time
@@DaPlenThing The Thomas C2 is here to stay for quite some time. It's the most aerodynamically advantaged bus in the United States that is available for purchase and assembly within a year's time. Districts love them and they will keep fixing them just as they did the old Blue Bird SBCV's.
@@UahUahUah I install 2 way radios on these busses brand new is another reason it's so crazy to see it in a demo derby but I bet the electronics are why this one failed so early in the figure 8, poor thing would have won had it not been electronically challenged
That’s actually the first one I’ve ever seen in a bus race lol
"We need some cold water!" 😂😂😂
I want this guy to narrate my daily life.
Gonna cherish my Rockford Speedway hoodie, wore it today in fact. Gonna miss y'all
Awesome footage, awesome race thank you!
This looks crazy fun, I love it!
Why are they closing ? There content is much funnier and more entertaining to look at than nascar
I'd love to see one of these races. Maybe I could pick up some spare parts for my skoolie motorhome when racers are done with them... LOL
genuinely the best commentary I’ve ever heard on a race… so damn funny
Looks like a lot of fun 🇺🇸🏁
Ohh the things we do 😂😂
Reminds me of a mobile game I used to play called Bus Derby
It was awesome 👏
Is that the same Scary Gary from the infamous bus jump video? What a legend 😂
that.....was......awesome.......
R u kidding me! This is freaking awesome! Only in america!!!!!!
loved this
Love this!
Commentary is gold
This is better than the 2nd place wins race at the Auburndale Speedway in Polk County, Fla. back in the 80s.
This is what riding the bus to school was probably like.
I used to live in machesney park. I miss going there with my wife. Had a lot of hemi size beers there while cheering on the spec drags.
Scary Gary, I love you. ❤️
You know you're in for it when the pace car is a tow truck.
P.S. I love the aerial view. More please.
some cartubers need to buy this place and save it
2:35 I love this guy’s laugh xD
This video makes me feel much more confident about bus handling
Deadly fun game😂
Reminds me of why I walked to school.
It was fun at your place Rockford speed Way
Some of these buses are buckin(I love it)
I know they are not full of kids,
but my body is freaking out watching this aha
The driver in the Thomas bus with his master switch on 🤣
Seat belts, everyone!
Please let this be a normal field trip.
With the Friz!?
No way!
*Gets T-boned by another bus*
amazing
I don't watch NASCAR or Formula 1, but I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Looks like a normal day in Lakewood New Jersey!!...😂
Definitely Droning on ❤
Idk how i got here but scary gary is killin it!
Black Bus got screwed. He ran away with this thing and was never close to being passed. No scorekeepers? Really?
came down to the paint jobs lol
The reason scary Gary won is because he’s old and he is a legend at the speedway win the bud race so they let him win it 1 last time
@@Jdmmmmmmhsvsbs bahh
You do understand these are all picked drivers from the track and there was no true payout or anything? It’s just for fun…
@@RottenMotorsports Changes nothing.
You got the guys just having fun and the 2 tryhards with painted busses
Awesome
They made flatout 2 in to a real thing, dope!
Was running when parked !
I’ll miss Rockford
The best of USA racing.
ms.frizzle approves
Is this Rockford Illinois?
Yea
It's fritter time!
3:06
Announcer: That's two buses down! Haha
Students in the bus: 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Real life wreckfest 💙
Scary Gary is obviously a professional school bus driver
I love the way the American got fun!!

Cleetus McFarland needs to save this raceway
