Don't miss the highflying excitement of motorcycle stunts with the U.S. FMX National Championship Series: the only national championship title that is decided by performing aerial stunts while launching motorcycles 70'+ feet through the air!!

The nation's top riders return to defend their titles as champions of extreme sports. See why Freestyle Motocross reigns king among fans of extreme sports with spectacular mid-air maneuvers and insane back flips!

Wednesday & Thursday at 11a.m. ~ Harness Racing
   
Thursday 6:30p.m. ~ Truck Pulls

 

NTPA Sanctioned Truck Pulls
The National Tractor Pullers Association was established in 1969 by representatives from eight states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania). These representatives met to establish uniform rules and give the sport structure. From these meetings, the NTPA was started.

The NTPA sets the standard in the pulling industry for safety and competition rules. Respected by most domestic and foreign pulling associations, the NTPA Rulebook is followed across the world for bettering themselves to what has already been experienced by the NTPA.

Friday September 10, 2010 ~ Jake Owen & Jason Michael Carroll

JAKE OWEN
"You've got to care about the music...You'd better not be doing it for the publicity, the fame or the money. And you'd sure better not be doing it because it's a way to make a living, 'cause that ain't always going to be easy. You got to believe it, believe in the music. You got to mean it." -- Waylon Jennings

A framed copy of that quote hangs on the wall in Jake Owen's home in Nashville. It's served as a valuable piece of advice in the last few years as he's made the transition from a country newcomer with an infectious first single called "Yee Haw" to a bona fide star with a handful of hits under his belt and an ever-growing and loyal fan base.

 

Full Bio

 

JASON MICHAEL CARROLL
The accomplishments are impressive enough for any new artist – a chart-topping debut album nearing a half-million in sales, three hit singles from that album (all of which he wrote or co-wrote), a Gold ringtone certification, and opening spots on some of country’s hottest tours. The key to Jason Michael Carroll’s success is evident in every note he sings – live or in the studio – and it lies in his authenticity. Whether it’s the empathy brought to bear on the tragedy of “Alyssa Lies,” the pure passion of “Livin’ Our Love Song” or the youthful exuberance of “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead,” Carroll knows how to connect with fans, and together with hard work, undeniable talent, and good looks, that connection has launched one of country’s most impressive young careers.

It’s a career whose music aptly depicts Carroll as country’s Gen-Y family man, reflecting his generation’s transition from party to parenthood, and able to fully express the joys inherent in both worlds and the tensions that can come in moving from unencumbered freedom to the responsibilities of home and hearth. As a husband and father of four, Carroll sings eloquently about both sides of the equation in songs that recognize the firm foundation that country roots and a sense of community provide in a fast-moving world.
