The Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix, the world’s largest and most prestigious karting street race, is excited to announce a new national level partnership with The Hemp Doctor, based in Mooresville, N.C., as Presenting Sponsor of the race. The Hemp Doctor is a major national manufacturer and distributor of legal hemp/CBD products and Rock Island is The Doctor’s first house call into motorsports.

“We are excited to be part of this year’s Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix in the Quad-Cities. Our hope is to share knowledge about the Hemp industry, while offering products that aim to improve one’s well-being. We look forward to meeting you all,” said Robert Shade, The Hemp Doctor CEO.

The Rock Island race has a history of working with national, regional and local sponsors, most of which have stayed involved for many years.

“The Doctor’s office is in Mooresville, N.C. – the heart of NASCAR and American motorsports. They understand the draw and I’m sure they have a long-standing history of aiding race fans and keeping drivers on the track with the pain that comes with making the podium. Racers and race fans know that street racing can be a unique, fun and challenging form of motorsports, so we’re glad to have The Doctor in the house,” said Roger Ruthhart of the Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix.

The Hemp Doctor, thehempdoctor.com, provides a physical location and online community where people can openly discuss their issues, ask questions, and ultimately get relief. All products of The Hemp Doctor are legal in Illinois.

Rock Island is located in an area known as the Quad-Cities, equally divided between Illinois and Iowa, with a metropolitan population of 400,000. It is home to the Rock Island Arsenal military base and corporate headquarters for John Deere in Moline, Ill. It is served by the Quad-City International Airport and is at the intersection of Interstate highways 80, 74, 88 and 280.
