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.
This prestigious event has helped launch the careers of the NASCAR stars such as Mark Martin, Dick Trickle, Alan Kulwicki, Ted Musgrave, Rusty Wallace, Rich Bickle, Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Travis Kvapil, Jamie McMurray, Todd Kluever, Erik Darnell, and Scott Wimmer.
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. - Авто та транспорт
I've walked this earth for 56 years, how in the hell did I ever miss this type of race? I'm not even a race fan and this is awesome! I will never look at trucks, trailers and figure 8's the same way again.
They have figure 8 races with 3 cars chained together and the front car is in charge of either brakes or acceleration and the rear car is in charge of the opposite of the front.
They have full on bus races on a figure 8
GOD I love this country.....we need this in the Olympics ....this is awesome. Im addicted!
I have never seen this either I'm 63
This is what the elite coasties call "flyover country"....lol. IDK why, it's where all the FUN is!
You should try school bus figure 8 racing on YT. It's a real hoot! 👏👍👏
LOL at the announcer at the end asking the crowd to make sure to throw away their trash while standing in the absolute carnage around him
Yep, I thought that was funny too. Who would know the difference? He must be used to saying that after regular racing and it just slipped out.
@@JT-SE-OHIO No, he is talking to the crowd who are usually a bunch of pigs that leave their trash in the stands for the workers.
I thought he was going to tell the fans to come down to the track and clean up the aftermath. 😂
😂😂
haha
When you bring the whole trailer park to the races and you tell the wife. Our house is WINNING TONIGHT!!
A camper and mobile home are 2 different things lol
@@d.moondogg4111 you can find either one of them in a trailer park
Correction! Trailerhood😂💪🏽
@@d.moondogg4111 same kilt,different plaid☘️🇮🇪🥃🍺
Frickin' dying omg 🤣
7:17 "There's starting to be a little debris on the track"
Understatement of the century!
Just a little bit 😅
..and don't forget to take your trash when you leave.... love it
Probably due to the stands being harder to clean up cause of the seats while with the track it's big and open and "easy'' to clean they probably use a bulldozer to get the main stuff then a street cleaner to get the little bits
After watching the entire video, don't let anyone tell me this is not a great Country.
Rockford is a great American blue collar town with a bunch of earthy peeps.
Yet these are the people that the media, colleges and government demonize ...
Public education brought us here.
thats how we roll
I love thee races. The Dutch have been doing these races for years.
The announcer told them not to stand there in turn 4 and they found out why he said that 😂
Looks like Labor Day at the boat ramp to me!
Lol
🤣
Facts
Please bring this down to Rockingham…….I got a buddy who said we could borrow their camper, and my brother in law just bought a new Ford! He said I could take it drive it anytime!
Hilarious! 😂
"New Ford" RIP
Rockingham NC?
You must be a Chevy guy 😁
lol "borrow" :-D
A moment of silence for all the drivers who lost their homes.
That was absolutely epic. I’ve never seen such destruction.
Check out "Banger Racing" or Russian dash camera footage.
its trash waste u wasting human
We drove over 6 hours to witness this madness and it was even better than we'd imagined! K9 and Pyro Squirrel Motorsports are the winners in our hearts, can't wait for next year!!!!!
This is my first time watching a trailer race. I AM HOOKED!
@@LameWolff Hey Buddy, School Bus figure eights are just as good too. Watch 'em if you haven't, I'm sure you'll like it!
@@leftylou6070 Watched one after posting this. The boat tow or what ever they called it also. Great fun.
its trash waste u wasting human
Who doesn't dream of something like this stuck in traffic during 4th of July weekend. Thanks for making dreams, a reality.
Brings a tear to the eyes.. beautiful.
Brings a whole new meaning to “trailer trash”.
You get a thousand points for that!
I grew up in rural W. Michigan but then have moved to the suburbs in Indiana and 2 places in Ohio.... A girlfriend from Indiana invited me to stay with her and her children for a couple weeks.... One weekend she took the family and I to a "Motor Madness" event at a nearby racetrack. We watched short track racing, demolishem derby and figure 8 events and had a great time! -- I had been surrounded by those uptight suburbanites for so long.... I forgot how nice the country folk really are! :-D
Coming from someone who lived a few blocks from the Indy 500 for several years and grew up watching dune buggy, dirt bike, indy car, nascar, and hotrod racing I have to say I have never seen anything like this.
Indianapolis Speedrome is fun.
Drive across town to Kitley Speedrome. They have trailer figure 8's and school bus 8's.
Living proof that people will pay to see anything race.
Maybe the funniest and most dangerous thing I've ever seen.
I always loved to play Twisted Metal game as a kid and teen, so watching this brings back so many feelings of joy as you crush your enemy's car!
I play a game on Steam called Wreckfest. It's 100% like the game! LoL
He said at the beginning for nobody to stand in turn 4...well we almost saw why lol
I've got to see this before I die. This is incredible
You paid for the whole seat but you'll only need the edge! God bless America.
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen! It’s definitely on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing
i came across this after a couple beers tonight. epic race!!!!
Bucket List for sure!
Somewhere there's somebody wondering what happened to their Trailer when they went to buy smokes at the Gas Station. "I dunno, I was just gone like 15 minutes and I came back an muh trailer was gone"
I bet someone is also selling a lightly used trailer, (no title, no low balls) a week after this lmao
@@lisafrank674 i know what I got 2500 firm
@@danietkissenle Tows like a dream.
Lol
Was never into racing, this is awesome
Can we get these boys a youtube rep? They really need to get some more attention this is better than NASCAR!
I mean I get this isn't professional or anything, but this man's commentary is hilarious. Good race!
What a symphony of destruction! I enjoyed every last minute. The courage, the fortitude, the heart it takes to put yourself out there and become one with the absolute idiocy of it all! Thank you for sharing. You made my day! 😊
The sillier the car, the better the racing. That's why NASCAR should start racing Geo Metros
@@cbj4sc1 Likewise, the slower the car, the better the racing. These vehicles shouldn't be flying above 100 mph too often given the track length.
its trash waste u wasting human
That bearded mans enthusiasm for his fellow winner shows the true winner in himself. He looked happier than the guy that actually won! 😂
True sportsmanship!
I’m fourteen seconds in. And I feel like I don’t need to see the rest because I know exactly what is going to happen. I also feel like it’s going to be the best video I watch all day. Cheers to whoever thought of this.
I love it. An immigrant here, been living in the great USA for 17 years now. Best country in the world. I wish something like this was around Georgia state to take my boys there!
Just curious, what influenced you to arrive here? My parents are immigrants themselves and they came here to provide a better future for me and my siblings.
If you love this, like I do and we do, you are an American. 100%
Easily one of the best trailer races I’ve seen. Full of great hits and action
It looks like an F5 tornado ran through a trailer park
"the track is closed once we uh...get everyone situated" which also means "we have no idea how the hell were gonna clean all this shit up"
@5:00 "HOW DID HE NOT HIT IT? oh yeah, he stopped" 😂😂😂
This reminds me of showing up at the campground on a weekend day😂
Classic entertainment that we need more of in our life.
Those fireworks in the beginning were absolute killer 🤦♂️
Someone crossed the border into Wisco and picked up two their best show in a box for twenty bucks. Yes, killer. What do you expect. Only the best.
I was blinded by delight
First time I smiled in a week
This is officially on my Bucket List to do. Freakin Awesome!.
This was the BEST time I've had in a while...
Great for a family fun night!!
THANKS FOR SHARING
3:19 is what you’re here for
That’s definitely the best hit I’ve ever seen in one of these races.
This has been going on at Mendips Raceway in Somerset England for years. It is called "Caravan Racing" (the British name for trailers) and I watched it with a buddy in 2009. It was fun to see. In Corpus Christi Texas at South Texas Speedway they have "Boat Racing" where old boats are substituted for the trailers. Lots of fiberglass all over the track. I recommend sitting high in the stands when viewing any of these events.

I went to the Rockford Speedway in the late 1970s on a cross country trip and we were lucky to show up the night they had an event like this. One of my best childhood memories is seeing this carnage in person. Im so happy to see they still doing this event.
Man, this is real-life BeamNG figure-8 racing! Didn't even know figure-8 racing is real, I only knew of demolition derby! Love it! 💗
I grew up with this and at Sante Fe Speedway! Best of times man🤘🇺🇸
this is some of the coolest stuff i've ever seen. thanks for sharing!
I've been missing out all this time! I love Wreckfest, specially the modes where it's similar to this. I am surprised this actually exists. I need to go to one of these events one day!
@Jacob King Sweet thx for the info! :D
This ought to be in the Olympics.
Whoever came up with this is pure GENIUS! I could drink a cooler of Budweiser and watch this all night…..lol.
Wow! I’m dying laughing at this. Incredible is all I can say! Insanely great entertainment!
nice c900 pic
That's the craziest stuff I ever seen lol
This will be in the 2024 Summer Olympics.
So many great memories here as a kid. Alien pops, night ride, school bus figure 8. Thank for the memories Rockford speedway. Love from Montana 🤙
That was more organized than the Afghanistan withdrawal, everyone should have gotten a trophy.
Absolutely the best F8 I’ve ever seen bar none! When that chevy truck drove thru the tag along trailer it lit the place off. And the mean lookin truck there at the end that just kept goin like the energizing bunny was awesome. Them boys just wouldn’t quit! Thanks for sharing!
Never see post malone so happy to win something
that was awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW thanks!!
I love the “repurpose” aspect! Why scrap or send your broken trailer to the landfill… they’re like “NAH!!! WE’LL TAKE IT OFF YOUR HANDS!!!” 😂😂😂
An honorable death
Looks like good clean environmentally friendly fun.
UA-cam recommendations finally did me a good one
I’ve gotta get tickets for this next year!
who doesn’t love a race, that turn into a crash-up derby! freakin AWESOME ✅. 😜
seeing this in person and as my first this was absolute mayhem in the best way possible
The real heroes of this race are the trailer hitches. HOW are some of those still holding on after all that crashing and twisting??
I think that's part of the beauty of this discipline. The trailer not only adds an element of challenge to driving, but also serves as spectacle as an obstacle that must be dealt with accordingly.
Man whoever pitched this and have it become a reality must be nuts.
That is pretty cool. Never saw anything like this before. Lynn and Danny
This was my favorite recommended video of at *LEAST* the last few years!
It's absolute mayhem and carnage, and I loved it! 🤣
Awesome video! The Good Ol'Boys 👍🏿
WOW‼️ WOW‼️ WOW‼️
SO AWESOME TO WATCH😉👍
That looks incredibly FUN😆
Talented competitors👍
Absolute awesome race!!!!!
LOL, BEST TRAILER RACE EVER!!!!,👍🇺🇲
That.... Was.... AWESOME!!!!!!!!
One tire on the loose, RED FLAG
20 trailer trucks ramming into each other, yeeee BOIIIIIII!
wow this is insane! I'm always curious how they clean this all up later
Lol, I was thinking the same thing!!, Not just the camper debris, the bolts , screws, and misc. Metal!!
I was there and the guy said it takes 3 days to clean all of it up!
@@KiritoAnime-vp6ec wow!!, I bet, LOL
One piece at a time probably.
@@brucekiszely2995 A big magnet might work for the small metal stuff toward the end of the cleanup. The best thing to happen would be for scrapper's to come and get most of it for free.
Absolutely crazy! Love it
I have witnessed all three of my kids births, sunrises, sunsets etc. All rubbish! This is pure beauty!
Wow, that was extremely entertaining.
Need this in Portland OR for all the homeless
As a fellow Oregonian, we should reopen or open a new Portland Speedway.
Fantastic job filming and editing this. I absolutely love trailer races
This is the most Rockford thing I've ever witnessed
This is the most American thing I’ve seen in a while
This is some of the craziest fun I get to see on UA-cam. Keep it up!
Wow! This was awesome!!! Demolition derby, while hauling trailers. Might just have to see this in person next year. Great job 👍
I absolutely had NO IDEA how much Id LOVE this!!!
Looks like Friday night headed for the campground.
Haven’t seen one of those before, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for posting this, I smiled and then cringed at the close calls. We live in Ohio and we are now planning a road trip. Congratulations to 188 !
This is pure entertainment
I’ve been going to the trailer races since I was a kid and it’s one of things me and my family look forward to every year!!
This makes Houston Tx traffic commute look so Easy Safe .
WHO CLEANS THAT UP
If I didn't watch this, I never would have believed it. That was crazy.
Holy hell… I’ve been to every type of race imaginable, and yet I’ve never ever even heard of this let alone been to one! Just found my next race to go to!
I remember going to this many years ago, so much fun!
We went one year, there was a few fiberglass boats, it was very itchy!! My wife hasn't wanted to go back since
Crazy fun for both the driver's and the fans. The last remaining two were pretty stout trucks to have taken all that abuse. Going to take a while to clean up the track but it was worth it judging by the turnout. Good job on the video.
Congrats to the winner!!!
9yrs is a lot of work.
Glad he never gave up,so very happy for his win.
Well deserved. 👏
I LOVE these races. Thank you so much!
Definitely gives a new twist to Demo-Derbies...so much fun to watch !!
I laughed for 18 minutes!!!
What a hoot! The last few racers were relentless!
Randomly popped up in my Recommended and man, this brings back some memories. The very first autosport event I ever attended as a young teenager was a round of the Australian Sprintcar Championships at Parramatta City Raceway, around the time that Brooke Tatnell was starting to hit his stride in the top class, early 90's. The sprintcar/speedcar racing was awesome of course, but they also had a demo derby as a promo race and that was just... astounding. This video brings back all those memories but turns it up to 11, so cheers for that. :)
