Photo Review: Norwalk Night Under Fire 2024

The sellout crowd of over 40,000 who attended the 47th annual Cornwell Tools Night Under Fire at Summit Motorsports Park was treated to the Greatest one-day drag racing event on the planet.

Night Under Fire is not just a drag race; it is a spectacle that ranges from sportsman racers up to the $125,000 fireworks finale, mixed in with a healthy dose of American Pride.

While the absence of 16-time world champ John Force was noted, the event showcased the return of his fill-in: Fast Jack Beckman.
