Kansas City car show, car cruise, and car racing schedule for April 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 2013

Lots of big car stuff going on in the Kansas City area this weekend, so let’s get to it!

Of course, NASCAR brings their circus to Kansas Speedway, with the Camping World Truck Series on Friday, and the big Sprint Cup Series event on Saturday.  With the new car on the new pavement, speeds will be up and excitement will be high. 

For car cruises, I definitely suggest the Platte City cruise on Saturday night.  Nice people, food on-site—it’s hard to pass this event up.  You can also check out some Corvettes on Saturday at the Wal-Mart on I-29 and Barry Road.

The entire Kansas City car show, car cruise, and car racing schedule for April 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 is listed below.
