Demolition Derby in Springdale This Weekend

SPRINGDALE -- The 16th annual fall Ozark Demolition Derby kicks off tomorrow here at parsons stadium.

Participants are coming from four states to compete for thousands in cash prizes, trophies and all the bragging rights you can imagine. The first place prize winner gets $10,000. The event was just here a few months ago for its spring derby, where they brought in more than 7,000 spectators here to Parsons Stadium and they're expecting more folks to come join in on the fun.

"Bigger crashes, more excitement, probably a little more tension among the drivers because there's gonna be little guys that are fighting for that first place money," said Steve Smith, Derby Committee Member. "It's the most fun event I think we put on almost all year long."

The gates open Saturday at 6:00 p.m. and things get going at 7:30 p.m. 10 percent of the proceeds go to NWA Cancer Challenge.
