GM/Car Craft Summer Nationals, Minnesota State Fairgrounds, July 25-27

My son is so excited for this event. And I'll admit I'm quite excited too. 4,000 hot cars will be in attendance, and 45,000 spectators are expected to watch the Summer Nationals at the State Fairgrounds from July 25-27.

The three-day weekend will have races, burnout contests, screaming brakes, smoking tires, a performance parts marketplace, and family activities.

Car lovers can also catch the ArtCars at a couple more dates in August, and the Hastings Saturday Night Cruise In takes over downtown Hastings every other Saturday night until October 4.
