MOHNTON, Pa. -- Race fans that want to end the workweek by watching some explosive action can get a great deal from Maple Grove Raceway and the NHRA.

As part of the 25th Annual Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals, fans can buy a general admission ticket after 5 p.m. Friday for that night's qualifying at the bargain price of $19. As with all general admission tickets, children 12 and under are free.

Fans will be able to watch the day's second round of pro qualifying, which is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. See nitro-powered Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars light up the night sky as they shoot down the strip at speeds approaching 300 mph.

The night's finale will be a giant aerial fireworks show.
