    Street Stocks Will Race at Rockingham For the Polar Bear 150

    New Year's Day Race Will Boast a 99-Car Starting Field
    “Anytime you put 99 cars on track for a race, you know it will be exciting”, said Frank Kimmel II.

    For anyone interested in participating, young Kimmel explains that it’s easy to become part of this Street Stock event.

    “It’s an all stock car and most street stockers around Rockingham and almost around the country can run it”.

    The main requirements to enter the race are in the safety of the car. This includes things like roll cage, door plates, window nets and a head-and-neck restraint system.

    The Polar Bear 150 will be the third race since Andy Hillenburg purchased the track last year. In addition to the Carolina 500, the Hooter’s Pro Cup Series will crown there champion at “The Rock” on November 1st. Other activities at the track this summer include the Super Stang Fest on June 14th – an all Ford Mustang car show as well as several Fast Track High Performance Driving Schools.

    The ARCA RE/MAX Series recently competed at Rockingham Speedway.
    Fans of Rockingham Speedway who saw the ARCA RE/MAX Series this past weekend will now have another must see race at Rockingham.

    On January 1, 2009, 99 cars will take the green flag for the first ever Polar Bear 150. The Frank Kimmel Street Stock Series has given Street Stock drivers who normally only run their hometown short track the opportunity to race on major speedways including Bristol and Kentucky in addition to the “The Rock”.ce Driving Schools.

                So far I have been told that about 5 Super Stocks from Orlando plan to go to this race and if Rusty lets me, I will go with him since he is going. I hate driving that far alone but it should be a great way to spend New Year's Day.

                    My 2 Cents worth.

                    It would be nice if we could get the tracks across Florida to accept a standard set of rules like this. Without the billboard on the roof of course, it sure would make it fun to travel to other tracks. But hey with the price of fuel it's $140 dollars to fill up the dually, so traveling isn't much of an option right now anyway.
