LABOR DAY WEEKEND
August 30-31, 2025
THE WORLD'S LARGEST AND MOST PRESTIGIOUS KARTING STREET RACE
THE XTREAM ROCK ISLAND GRAND PRIX, FOUNDED IN 1994, IS THE LARGEST KARTING STREET RACE ON THE PLANET, BRINGING DRIVERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE EACH LABOR DAY WEEKEND TO COMPETE IN THE QUAD CITIES FOR ONE OF THE MOST COVETED AWARDS IN THE SPORT.
Bring A Friend
=
Race For Free
If you've raced "The Rock" over the last 5 years (dating back to 2019 since we skipped the Covid year), we've got a present for you if you bring a friend to the party. Those who have raced with us recently, who bring someone with them who has never raced at Rock Island, will get a free race entry. This is limited to one race per person, but there is an exception. If a driver brings a SECOND racer who has never raced The Rock, he or she can get a second free entry.
​
There are a few rules to make it simple for all. The returning driver must email us at rockislandgrandprix@gmail.com and tell us which driver he or she is bringing. The NEW driver must then register FIRST, at which time we will issue a credit to the returning driver. If you want to split the registration cost, please do so on your own -- we are not applying percentages through RaceSelect. If, for some reason, the NEW driver later withdraws, there will be no refund. No exceptions. The deadline for these entries will be August 8.
WE MAKE LEGENDS,
AND WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED
Simpson Motorsports, SuperKarts! USA (SKUSA), Cup Karts North America (CKNA), and Southern Indiana Racing Association (SIRA Karting) have declared the 2025 Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix the must-race event of the year. Find out how these amazing programs are stepping up to get you the top!
WE MAKE FRIENDS & LEGENDS,
ALAN RUDOLPH IS A GREAT EXAMPLE
Whether in his early days as a racer, his years from 1999-2015 heading the karting component at Bondurant Racing School in Arizona, or his personal efforts since 2017 to develop the Alan Rudolph Racing Academy at Speedsportz Racing Park near Houston, Texas, Alan has been a legend. Oh, before all of that he was a 5-time time winner of the King of The Streets shifter class at Rock Island - an achievement no one else has touched.
