SPRING VALLEY, Minn. – If past editions of the Featherlite Fall Jamboree are any indication, race fans are in store for a nail-biting thrill ride this year when the Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Championship invades the Deer Creek Speedway, Sept. 23-26.

But this year, fans will get a lethal dose of sensory overload before each night's main event even begins.

In an attempt to top last year's exploding bombs that illuminated the 30 main event starters on Saturday night, the Hanson Tire Laser Light Show this year will incorporate dazzling laser light effects into the show to add new levels of excitement and pizzazz.

Displays of spatial and beam effects and animated graphic sequences will practically make the Deer Creek Speedway visible from outer space, but ticket holders will have a front row seat for the one-of-a-kind extravaganza.

Produced by Laser Image Productions of Greenfield, Ind., the family-friendly high-tech entertainment is presented by Hanson Tire Service: your one-stop, on-the-spot auto service headquarters for a complete line of quality tires and auto services. For years, Hanson Tire has provided the latest products and unprecedented service for everything they sell. And for years our customers have been coming back.

Conveniently located in Preston and LeRoy, Minn., Hanson Tire Service had the latest and best in tire technology and the services you need to keep your vehicle looking good and running great.

The Featherlite Fall Jamboree is the undisputed marquee event for America’s “who's who” of dirt Modified racing as they converge on the Deer Creek Speedway near the tiny rural town of Spring Valley, Minn., for a possible $12,000 to win over three big days. Three complete shows are on tap each night, with an open practice session on Wednesday to kick off the festivities. Special events include the annual Golf Scramble, Karaoke Night and dozens of other activities and special awards.

Along with the high-powered USMTS Modifieds, the 11th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree will also feature WISSOTA Midwest Mods.
