at ours, as most tracks are not racing the Monday night of the fourth of July
Holiday.” Stated Rockford Speedway General Manager Gregg McKarns.
“The Area Sportsman division during our annual National Short Track
Championships is one of the most popular and competitive. I know the
same will hold true on Monday night under the lights.”

Holiday Special that will also see Fireworks and a post race concert by
recording artist Jessi Lynn. Rockford Speedway Grand National drivers
