Fireworks are just part of the evening's fun

-- For Immediate Release -- CONCORD, N.C. (June 26, 2015) – There will be fireworks both on and off the track this Tuesday at the Bojangles' Summer Shootout Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Families are encouraged to make this Tuesday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway family fun night. This Speedway's Play Zone will be open with a bounce house, face painting and interactive games at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Fan Van. Tuesday, fans can get a cool down from Charlotte Motor Speedway's fire truck, Engine 343, as it sprays water into the grandstands.

Round 5 marks the midway point in the Bojangles' Summer Shootout Series, and Ashton Higgins (Outlaws Division), Tom Pistone (Security Force Masters Division) and Michael Torres (Pro Division) are the current point's leaders in close contest for division championships.
