LOVES PARK, IL (Saturday, October 1, 2011) – The famous wreath was about two feet off the ground, but Ty Majeski felt like a bigger man as he held off some of the best Big 8 Series competitors to win Parent Petroleum 108 on Saturday night at Rockford Speedway. Majeski, along with Doug Bennett, Ray Search and Mike Marden each etched their names into the history books for the 46th Annual National Short Track Championships.

LOVES PARK, IL (Wednesday, September 28, 2011) – Just 23 points separate the top-three in the Big 8 Series points standings with two events remaining in the 2011 schedule. One of those two events will be contested in a 108-lap feature this Saturday night at the 46th Annual National Short Track Championships at Rockford Speedway in Loves Park, IL.

Rockford’s very own Steve Rubeck will be coming into this Saturday night with a 17-point lead over Dale Nottestad and a 23-point lead over defending Big 8 Series Champion Jeremy Miller.

Over the last two plus seasons, Zach Riddle has always been amongst the contenders in every Big 8 Series race he has run. Riddle is usually a threat for fast time, and most times can be found near the top half of the running order. But several times in the past, Lady Luck has not always smiled on the Madison area driver.
