The event will take place Saturday, July 10th, Noon-10pm at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, 1255 Hempstead Tpke, Uniondale, NY.

Wyclef stated: "Cars have always been a passion of mine, ever since I was a kid collecting matchbox versions of my favorites. People know that I'm a true connoisseur when it comes to cars and bikes - they never know what to expect from me next. This year's Power show will be no exception - the public will not be disappointed! I'm goin' all out, so come check it out at Nassau Coliseum July 10th!"

Top vendors in the automotive industry including Toyota, Cadillac, and Scion will be present, showing off the latest after-market accessories including rims, tires and electronics.

The Motorcycle Stunt Extreme League, OTC (One Try Competition), will host its annual bike competition at the event. Nine teams will compete for cash prizes by performing freestyle tricks, wheelies, endos, burn-outs and more.
