First Responders Night Fires Up Kern Raceway Saturday Night

Saturday night at Kern Raceway will be about speed, horsepower and the heroes who answer the call.

First Responders Night takes over the track September 19, bringing a packed night of racing and entertainment while recognizing the firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, EMTs and other first responders who step forward when the rest of us need them most.

They run toward emergencies when others are trying to get away, and Saturday night the racing community gets its chance to say thank you.

Once the engines fire, it's time to turn up the volume.

The NASCAR Limited Pro Late Models will lead the charge with Twin Features, putting two main events on the schedule and giving drivers two opportunities to battle for the checkered flag.

The INEX Legends will bring their fast, close-quarters racing, while the NASCAR Crown Vics and NASCAR Spec Racers add plenty of fender-to-fender action. Super Moto joins the program to bring two-wheel speed into the mix.

And just when you think the night couldn't get any wilder...

AUTO SOCCER IS BACK!

Cars. A giant soccer ball. And a playing field where using the bumper isn't a penalty — it's part of the game.

It's racing, horsepower and a little controlled chaos all rolled into one Saturday night.

Come out and help Kern Raceway salute the first responders who serve our communities, then buckle in for a night packed with Twin Features, short-track battles, motorcycles and the return of Auto Soccer.

First Responders Night — Saturday, September 19 at Kern Raceway.

Come for the heroes. Stay for the horsepower.
