The Pit Stop Challenge will be held on lower Broadway between 1st and 2nd streets and begin at 6:00 PM CST. The opening-draw will be announced just prior to the start of the competition and the teams will vie for $10,000 in prize money.

The car show display will be set up between 3rd and 4th streets and will feature marquis brands from the GT America Powered by AWS series such as Porsche, Ferrari, and Mercedes. They will be joined by American muscle brands Corvette and Mustang from the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli racing series as well as the ever popular Stadium Super Trucks – all series competing in the race weekend.

The display will be open beginning at 5:00 PM with opportunities for fans to take photos near the vehicles.
