Day two of the 2010 Car Craft Summer Nationals presented by GM Performance Division began as advertised. The Minnesota State Fairgrounds was absolutely packed with cars, spectators, vendor displays, performance parts and all the sights and sounds of automotive Utopia.

Cruising and walking around the Fairgrounds was the name of the game today as there was so much to see and do that you couldn't walk 15 feet in a straight line without wanting to take out your camera phone and send a taunting picture to your friends unlucky enough not to be here. Below, you can check out our exclusive photos and videos from the biggest day of the CCSN.

The 2010 CCSN wraps up tomorrow with the announcement of this year's Real Street Eliminator winner and, of course, the highly anticipated Miss Car Craft Summer Nationals bikini contest. We'll have all the coverage right here at www.carcraft.com
