"When the Fitzgerald family decides to put their muscle behind something - they always do it in a big way - and we're thrilled they are heading back to legendary Thunder Valley," said Jerry Caldwell, executive vice president and general manager of Bristol Dragway. "Families and truck enthusiasts should join us in early May for the Foghat concert, a fireworks finale and some of the most state-of-the art big rigs you'll ever see."
