The 48th Annual Cornwell Tools Night Under Fire will dazzle and delight fans of all ages, Aug. 1-2, 2025 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
The substantial signature event known as The Greatest Show in Drag Racing® will feature more than 82 performers, which is the most in the history of the event, and they will be ready to put on an outstanding show.
“We have been thinking about and dreaming about this event for the past year, and we have a striking show planned that will appeal to all senses,” said Bill Bader, Summit Motorsports Park president. “We urge you to get your tickets now as we are expecting a sell-out.”
NHRA Funny Car standouts Ron Capps, Daniel Wilkerson, Cruz Pedregon and Dave Richards will soar side-by-side, and talented Top Fuel racers Antron Brown, Justin Ashley, Clay Millican and Josh Hart will rocket down the racetrack.
Powerful NHRA Pro Stock drivers Greg Anderson, Dallas Glenn, Erica Enders and Jeg Coughlin Jr. will add to the adrenaline, as will twelve Top Alcohol Funny Cars, twelve Top Alcohol Dragsters and twelve Pro Mods.
Hayden Proffitt will bump into the beams and blast off with afterburners all aglow in his Hot Streak II jet engine-powered truck, and Ernie Bogue, Scott Holdridge, Dawn Perdue and Neil Esposito will gun for a North American Jet Car Championship in their 300-mph vehicles.
R&R Auto Body Top Sportsman, Factory Stock, Pro Outlaw Drag Sleds and ScottRods Gassers will also be in action.
There will be a fantastic flyover by the Hooligans Flight Team featuring historic military airplanes, as well as skydivers. The Bader Family Signature $150,000 Fireworks Show presented by R&R Auto Body will be shot from multiple locations over the park.
The Edelbrock Super Series Elite presented by Red Line Oil and Rocko Machine will feature the top 16 racers in Summit Motorsports Park’s Edelbrock Super Pro, Edelbrock Pro, Wiseco/CycleTech Super Bike and Edelbrock Sportsman Delivered on Time by TFC Transportation programs as of Aug. 1, and they will race for a share of $64,400 on Aug. 2.
