This week Texas Motor Speedway will celebrate Friday Night Drags with a bang with the "Earliest Fireworks Show in the Metroplex," which are set to begin at approximately 10:30 p.m. The fireworks show presented by Snap-On Tools is part of the evening's patriotic theme that also includes free admission for military and first responders. Those presenting a valid ID at the Gate 6 box office will receive free admission.
Friday Night Drags offers car enthusiasts the opportunity to race down Texas Motor Speedway's pit road, which is transformed into a 1/8-mile drag strip. Each week, competitors race for a trophy and points, which are tallied at the conclusion of the final weekend to ultimately crown the season champion.
Cars are divided into seven different divisions, consisting of Reunion Tower Geo Deck Bandit Division; Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Division; Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Modified Division; Snap-On Tools All Wheel Drive Division; Texas Lottery Super Cars Division; 4 Wheel Parts Black Smoke Warrior Division; and Summit Racing Equipment Street Outlaw Division.
The gates open each week at 6 p.m. with inspection, practice and Hills Air Support Show-N-Shine beginning at 6:15 p.m. Drag racing competition gets underway at 9:15 p.m.
