Sacramento, CA -- (SBWire) -- 05/08/2014 --Derby cars are going full throttle at the Sacramento County Fair at Cal Expo on May 23, 2014. Gates open at 7 p.m. and the crashing, smashing and the roar of engines start at 7:30 p.m.

This unique American form of entertainment is classic fun for everyone. Young and old alike join in the screaming and howling for their favorite drivers who are competing for the winning portion of the $5,150 purse.
