Various other door prizes with awards will be handed out from Ron Craft Chevrolet, including $500 in Exxon Mobile gas cards, a set of GM chrome nerf-bars, two Chevy truck bedliners, two sets of his and her Chevy watches, gift cards to O'Reilly Auto Parts and much more. "We could not think of a more appropriate way to launch the return of the Super Chevy Show to Houston Raceway Park than to kick off our weekend with this Chevy Street Cruise," said Seth Angel, HRP general manager. "I can only imagine what a parade of Chevy's traveling in unison down Texas Avenue in downtown Baytown's Historic District will look like. Get your cameras ready is all we can say because this will definitely be one of those Kodak moments."

The cruise is open to all Chevy bodied or powered automobiles, and General Motors cars, including Saab, Saturn, Hummer and Cadillac.

Sunday's action will include an autocross, where racers will take to a road course and compete against the clock.
