The drag racing portion of tonight's Week 9 action in Atlanta Motor Speedway's O'Reilly Auto Parts Friday Night Drags and Show-N-Shine has been cancelled due to inclement weather.
Prior to the arrival of tonight's rain, the Show-N-Shine competition featured everything from new imports to classic muscle cars and automobiles ranging as far back as the 1930s. Those vehicles then took part in the Speedway Cruise after being scored.
Following the Show-N-Shine, fans were treated to the dazzling pyrotechnic spectacle of the Papa John's Pizza Fireworks Extravaganza, one of metro Atlanta's biggest and most celebrated fireworks displays, in celebration of the kickoff of the 2017 Independence Day Weekend.
O'Reilly Auto Parts Friday Night Drags and Show-N-Shine will resume with Week 10 action next Friday, July 7. Grandstand gates will open at 6:30 p.m., and nightly drag race eliminations start just after 9 p.m.
