The car show is a great way for your race team to show off their equipment for the 2024 racing season whether it be a totally new race car, a new paint scheme, or new sponsors who have come on board to support your racing endeavors. And you just never know when a local businessman or a person just walking by will notice your race car and you may gain a new sponsor out of it. It is also great for the fans to get a look at the cars before they take to the speedway for the 2024 racing season for an open practice session on Saturday, April 13 followed by the $12,000 to win Jumpin’ Jack Johnson Memorial opening day event on Saturday, April 20!
