Sportsman Racers Showcased at Cavalcade of Stars

Sportsman racers to be showcased at the upcoming Cavalcade of Stars at Summit Motorsports Park July 2-4.

NORWALK, OH – Tons of talent and tenacity will be showcased when sportsman racers arrive for the 15th Annual Cavalcade of Stars presented by Budweiser, July 2-4, 2021 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.

The summertime date is new for the annual NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event previously held in the springtime, and anticipation is at an all-time high.

Among the fast and fascinating categories holding court will be Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Competition Eliminator, Super Stock, Stock Eliminator, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Top Sportsman and Top Dragster.

The Pro Mods of the R&R Auto Body/DeCerbo Construction Extreme 8 Rumble Wars will boast big tires and big power, and for the Saturday Night of Fire, flames will fly from header pipes during nighttime racing. Hanna Motorsports’ First Strike and Top Secret jet engine-powered Funny Cars will bring even more heat before fireworks light the sky.

When fans are not watching their favorite or soon-to-be favorite racers go down track, they can interact with them or their teams while they prepare their cars in the pit area.

“We’re looking forward to seeing these incredibly competitive sportsman racers in action at the 15th Annual Cavalcade of Stars presented by Budweiser,” said Bill Bader Jr., president of Summit Motorsports Park. “They have so much passion for the sport, and the fans watching them, talking with them or having their picture taken with them are fueled by that. Between them, the exhibition cars and the fireworks, we’re in for a tremendous time.”

Summit Motorsports Park is at 1300 State Route 18, Norwalk, Ohio. For tickets and more information visit www.summitmotorsportspark.com.
