MANSFIELD, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—Flying mud, roaring engines, and crunching metal brought the 2026 Richland County Fair grandstand track to life Saturday for the annual Demolition Derby. Young drivers got the high-octane evening started in the Kid Demolition Derby, showing off their driving skills and enthusiasm before the full-size cars, trucks, and modified rigs took over the pit. Packed grandstands cheered on every hard hit and last-car-running showdown as drivers battled for the night’s top purse and trophies.
