Nothing is more American on the 4th of July weekend than drag racing! At least for the folks who have headed out to Maple Grove this weekend for some great bracket racing. It’s the 2nd Annual Pep Boys Speed Shop and Off Road Independence Showdown, and the car count is great. Racers from all over have shown up to race for real money this weekend, because what is better than winning big on Independence Day?

Here is the video description from our friends at MotorManiaTV:

For the first time on MMTV, we welcome the 2nd event from the FRBR Promotions team. Known for their Door Wars race in the fall, last year they decided to expand to 2 races with the Inaugural Independence Showdown. With $15,000 going to Top Eliminator, $7,500 to No-Box and $1,500 to the Jr Dragster class each day, there will be plenty of happy people by the end of the weekend!
