Car Wars begins this Friday night, August 1, at 7 p.m. and continues through every Friday night in August.

It's a night of full contact fun that both kids and families will love, where the rules of the road are left at home. Car Wars brings your favorite characters to life and puts them on wheels! Kids love and laugh at the character cars. Parents rock 'n roll during the Rocker Derby events. And everyone marvels at the 2-Wheel Wonders driving contest. Plus a smash-up Demolition Derby to wrap up the show!


And of course, Firefly -- your kids' newest high-flying superhero!

Beech Ridge Motor Speedway is Maine's only NASCAR-sanctioned short track. In addition to the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, which competes from May through September each season, the track hosts the 10-week Thursday Thunder series from June through August, and Car Wars on Friday nights in August.
