Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models Headline Rockford’s 60th Season
February 26, 2007

Rockford, IL- The 60th Anniversary Season at Rockford Speedway will feature the newly named Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models during the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series season at the famed quarter-mile high banked paved oval.  This division will make their season debut on Saturday, April 21st.

Paul McCann, owner and operator of the nearby Machesney Park Stanley Steemer franchise gladly accepted the opportunity to tie his company to the NASCAR Late Model division at Rockford Speedway.  “I have witnessed the action and excitement that the late models provide on a regular basis.  My entire family is proud to have our name tied to this group of drivers; we look forward to meeting them and many of the race fans throughout the season,” Stated McCann.  “I have been involved with racing at the highest levels, the fans and drivers at Rockford Speedway are amongst the best in the nation.”

Ricky Bilderback tops the list of drivers expected to compete for the Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Model Championship.  Bilderback will attempt to join John Knaus and Bobby Wilberg with seven championships.  He currently holds six titles but number seven will not be an easy order.  The likes of the People’s Champion Jerry Gille, ASA standout Ryan Carlson, former Big 8 Series Champion Jon Reynolds Jr., Wisconsin State Championship victor Bob Kahler and three time American Short Tracker titlist Brett McCoy hope to top Bilderback in the season long battle.

Race fans interested in learning more about Stanley Steemer and the services they provide for both residential and commercial locations are invited to call McCann and his staff at 815-654-1098 or visit them online at www.stanleysteemer.com.   
 
NASCAR Racing action begins on April 21st during the Coca-Cola Season Opener; the speedway will host a Smash-O-Rama event on April 7 and the 30th annual Spring Classic on April 14 and 15.
