Night two of the weekend is the Red, White & Boom Night of Destruction to celebrate the 4th of July a bit early
(Saturday, June 26). Not only will Kalamazoo Speedway shoot off what could be the largest fireworks display in the tri-county area, but beforehand guests will be treated to an entertaining program of Monster Trucks, fun and funny novelty races including the stacker cars (double decker cars racing around the course) and the popular spectator drags. Kalamazoo Speedway welcomes Scarecrow back with his unique explosive stunts. What’s a Night of Destruction without the Speedway’s fleet of colorful buses ending the show by racing around the track hauling boats, campers and whatever else was available. It’s a fun program for the whole family. Monster Truck rides start at 4:30, free bus rides run from 5:00 – 7:00 PM. The program will start at 7:30 PM sharp.
