Firestone Complete Auto Care presents the #10 Budweiser/Ralphs Della Penna Motorsports Car!

As a main feature of our event, Firestone Complete Auto Care has taken the liberty to ship over this legendary racecar from the mainland for our specator's enjoyment!  We are delighted to have a true, high-quality, high-caliber vehicle of this scale at our event.

One of our key goals for this event is to raise the awareness for the need for a motorsports facility as well as impressing upon the general public and politicians just how much of an economic impact racing has on it's community...this vehicle is an example of the highest levels of racing, and it is a true pleasure to see it in person.  We hope that you'll join us on Saturday, June 14th at the Firestone Complete Auto Care area of the show to check out this beauty together!
