Dominic Blasco, president of Cordova International Raceway is expecting upwards of 20,000 people passing through the gates for the return of the 67th annual World Series of Drag Racing this weekend. “Racers and fans are both eager to get back to the track,” he went on to say. “This track and event is unique because of the history.” History was an underlining theme throughout the track talk. With chatter of grandfathers racing here and even a couple stories of children being conceived at the venue. (Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@shawmedia.com)
