I attended this year's Night Under Fire with my dad on Aug. 10. A picture is worth 1,000 words, right? So, instead of writing about my experience, here are 50 pictures in honor of Summit Motorsports Park's 50th anniversary.
If you would like to read specifics about their year's event, you may do so here.
*Note: I did the best I could with my picture-taking. Keep in mind that they were all taken with my iPhone!
