Rockford Speedway, Canva Rockford Speedway, CanvaRockford Speedway MemoriesIt's a sad fact, the closing of Rockford Speedway left a pretty big hole in the hearts of local racing fans all over the Stateline area, and it still shocks me to drive down 173 and see the empty space where the speedway used to be. Madison International Speedway just opened a new Midwest Racecar Graveyard on its grounds, and it's definitely unlike anything racing fans in the Midwest have seen before. The Midwest Racecar Graveyard will celebrate the history of Midwest Motorsports by showcasing retired and wrecked race cars from both asphalt and dirt short tracks. The iconic Rockford Speedway sign that once greeted drivers along Forest Hills Road has found a new home in the graveyard! The Midwest Racecar Graveyard is expected to continue growing through donations from racers and teams across the region, so every visit should bring something new to discover.
