Putting a cap on the evening was Bob Motz in his jet-powered Kenworth burning down the 40-foot tall backwall sign, followed by the famous $100,000, 20-minute fireworks display.

The NAPA Night Under Fire is, of course, a sportsman race as well. Sportsman competition started at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, continued through the day and after the fireworks show resumed until 11 a.m. Sunday, finishing a grueling 26-hour racing marathon.

Kirby McLennan of Temperance, Mich., got a check for $5,000 for winning the American Race Cars $5K race in Super Pro against David Davis of Toledo, with a 7.472-second E.T. against Davis’s 7.786.

In Pro, the APD Engine Race presented by Dart & Wiseco had John Gregory of Elyria, Ohio, on top, who took home a new 555 cubic-inch big block Chevy engine for his efforts. Gregory had a 10.158-second E.T. against runner-up Nick Moss of Amherst, Ohio, who ended up with an 11.410.
