This season, over 100 drivers will be competing for the titles in the same five divisions. The increased competition for the championships is sure to increase the racing excitement. Additionally, drag racing and road racing have been added to the program for more variety. The Thursday Thunder Series at Atlanta Motor Speedway continues to be a family-centered activity. Many of the racers in all divisions bring their families along with them.
Some families have several members competing in the races.
Some of the best things for spectators, besides the thrilling racing action, are the promotions. Several times during each Thursday, there are games and giveaways for the people in the stands. Prizes will be awarded for game winners. Another of the promotions is celebrity racing. These races feature well-known people from sports, entertainment and politics.
