Drag Racing Spectacle: The Summit Motorsports Park Night Under Fire

Bill Bader Jr. and his team at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio know how to put on a show. The 46th Annual Cornwell Tools Night Under Fire on August 5, 2023 was a spectacular event that was executed to perfection in front of a packed house. When the show began, fans got to see everything from Gassers to big-show NHRA fuel Funny Cars, and even a jet car racing a monster truck.

“This annual event meant a lot to my father, who wanted to see 50 years of it before he passed away,” said Bill Bader Jr., president of Summit Motorsports Park. “Unfortunately, he didn’t make it, but my family and I have no doubt that he was watching over this year’s event, and probably critiquing it from above. Our team worked tremendously hard all year long to make this a magical and memorable evening full of surprises, and our performers gave it everything they had. We hope our guests feel that we hit a home run.”
