Rare Rockford Speedway Memorabilia To Be Auctioned Off Soon
The Rockford Speedway ran its last lap in October of 2023, but this May racing fans will have the chance to score some rare memorabilia and equipment from the beloved race track.
Rockford's First Summer Without the Speedway
For 76 years, the Rockford Speedway provided racing excitement for people of all ages, from all over the Midwest, and I have soo many incredible memories from the time I spent at the track.
Some of my favorite Rockford Speedway moments include; watching races with my grandpa and Dad as a kid, giving away cars, eating chili and listening to live music, even driving a race car around the track in a media race! I had so many unforgettable experiences at the Rockford Speedway, and the fact that those days have officially ended totally bums me out.
Will Saturday nights in the summer ever feel the same way again?!?
