Fireworks are back at MIS on Friday, June 26th with the area’s biggest and best aerial and ground display that is all part of Salute to America Night. You have to see it to believe it…arrive early because seats fill up quickly.

Highlighting the racing program will be the Big 8 Late Models in a 48 lap feature. The Great Northern Sportsman Series will make the first of their two appearances and the DASH Series for four cylinder cars will also be on the half-mile.
