The fifth annual Sparks in the Motorsports Park concluded with a bang Wednesday night as locals and out of town guests enjoyed an impressive fireworks display at Atlanta Motorsports Park. As soon as gates opened at 5 p.m. cars piled with families lined up for their chance to secure parking as the annual event draws a bigger crowd year after year. Plenty of activities on site kept both children and adults happy as they waited for the fireworks to kick off when the sun went down. A bouncy house, face painting and a balloon making station were popular with the kids, but nothing could top the popularity of the inflatable water slide which kids excitedly slid down fully clothed to stay cool in the July heat.
