Summit Motorsports Park is thrilled to announce a historic broadcasting agreement with FloSports, the leader in sports streaming.  For the first time in history, the 49th Annual Cornwell Tools Night Under Fire – widely recognized as the largest single-day drag racing event in the world, will be available to a global audience via live stream on FloRacing.

The Night Under Fire is the crown jewel of the Bader family’s legendary promotions, drawing tens of thousands of fans to Norwalk for a sensory-overload experience that blends world-class drag racing with unmatched showmanship and pyrotechnics.

"This is an opportunity to take the very best of what we do and introduce it to the world," said Bill Bader, Jr., President of Summit Motorsports Park.

For nearly five decades, the event has set the industry benchmark for "The Show."  This partnership ensures that the electric atmosphere, on-track action, and the "Bader Style" of hospitality will be accessible to fans on their televisions and mobile devices, regardless of where they are located.

The FloDragRacing team has spent years expanding its coverage, and the addition of the Night Under Fire represents a milestone for the platform.  

"For Bill and his team to trust FloSports and FloRacing to be the ones to bring this magic to fans is an honor, to say the least," said Courtney Enders from FloRacing. "We have come a long way with our drag racing coverage, and I am confident we will bottle that magic for our subscribers to witness the greatness.  Above all else, I am honored to be welcomed into the Bader and Summit Motorsports Park family.  You’re in for a treat."

  • The Spectacle: Beyond the nitro-burning engines, the event features a world-renowned show that includes historic aircraft, skydivers, a special meet the stars autograph session, pageantry, special presentations, and a Bader Family Signature Fireworks Show celebrating America’s 250th Birthday.
