On Saturday night, July 4th, the Cedar Lake Speedway welcomes Wildman Clay Gallagher back for his 2nd Annual Night of Destruction. Last year's event was a huge success, if you missed it you need to see this event to believe it. A few new stunts have been added to the event along with complete shows of NASCAR Super Stocks & Midwest Modifieds! Wildman Clay Gallagher and others will have you on the edge of your seat entertaining you with death-defying stunts and fun races that will have you rolling in your seat with laughter. One of Clay's special guests is the World-Famous Spanky Spangler.
Spanky Spangler has been performing death defying stunts all over the world since he was 12 years old. With twenty two thousands stunts to his credit and 22 world records, he is known to his peers as the "Original Fall Guy." Also known as "The Falling Star," he is without a doubt the #1 stuntman in the World. Spanky has been inducted into three Stuntman Hall of Fames. In the past 3 years, more than 180 million people have watched Spanky perform his amazing stunts.
Born to be a stunt man, as far back as he can remember Spanky's driving desire was to be a Hollywood stuntman. He trained constantly and rigorously in all varieties of sports. After enlisting in the army, first as a paratrooper and later as a Green Beret, he became a decorated soldier and the youngest Green Beret to this date. His experiences in the armed forces helped prepare him for what was to come. For more info on Spanky visit www.spankyspangler.com
