About the 25th Annual PRW Power Blue Suede Cruise!

Get ready to step back in time and rev up your engines! The 25th Annual PRW Power Blue Suede Cruise is a three-day carnival of vintage horsepower, classic tunes, and American car culture. To mark this major quarter-century milestone, this year’s event promises to be the biggest and loudest in history, perfectly blending high-octane nostalgia drag racing with family-friendly entertainment.

Nitromethane, Gassers, and more!

The legendary Norwalk quarter-mile will come alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of classic drag racing. Track highlights include:

The Big Nitro Show: Headlining the weekend are 4 West Coast Legacy Nitro Funny Cars, 4 Legacy Nitro Front-Engine Dragsters, and a wild pair of Nitromethane AA/Fuel Altereds.

Throwback Competition: A massive field of 64 Gassers and 16 Front-Motor Nostalgia Dragsters will go head-to-head in fierce racing action.

Unlimited Fun Runs: The racing isn’t just for the pros—registered Street Rodders will have open access to the track for unlimited fun runs all weekend long.

3,000 Street Rods, Shopping, and Swapping!

Off the track, the park transforms into an automotive paradise:

The Show: Over 3,000 stunning Street Rods (customs and classics) will fill the facility.

The Swap Meet: Automotive enthusiasts can hunt for rare parts, tools, and memorabilia.

Woman’s World Shopping Experience: A dedicated space featuring local vendors, unique crafts, and one-of-a-kind finds.

Saturday Night Double-Feature: The Doo-Wop Project & Fireworks!

The celebration reaches its peak on Saturday night with an unforgettable evening of entertainment:

 Live in Concert: The Doo-Wop Project takes the stage! Featuring stars from Broadway’s Jersey Boys and Motown: The Musical, they will breathe new life into classic hits with their signature vocal harmonies.

The Grand Finale: Immediately following the concert, the sky over Norwalk will ignite with the world-famous, spectacular Bader Family Signature Fireworks Show.

"Twenty-five years of the Blue Suede Cruise is a testament to the incredible community of racers, hot rodders, and fans who call this event home," said Bill Bader. "We wanted to pull out all the stops for this anniversary. From nitromethane under the lights to incredible music and our signature fireworks, this is going to be a weekend people talk about for years to come.”
