Ten years ago a young Alexander Koreiba from Missouri took to the streets of Rock Island racing in the Margay Ignite class. He finished 15th. Today he is racing in the IndyCar NXT series with Juncos Hollinger Racing after a stint in sports car racing.

Like other Rock Island alumni before him Scott Speed (Monaco), Joey Hand (Chicago), Graham Rahal (Las Vegas), Nelson Phillippe (Long Beach), Alfonso Ribeiro (Long Beach) and others he will find his experience racing the streets of Rock Island gives him an advantage on professional street courses.

If this is also your dream, follow in his footsteps and race the Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix, Sept. 5-6, 2026. Need a ride? Do like Alexander did and contact Margay for an arrive-and-drive. They will also really help you learn to challenge the streets! As Alexander found out, no matter how you finish in Rock Island, the race will make you a better driver. Maybe someday you'll be racing against him!
