🏁 Today is Race Day! 🏁

We’re excited to join our partners Hendrick Driven for Veterans and Hendrick Chevrolet as racers get ready to take a lap for an incredible cause at the Annual Track Day Event at Superspeedway.

But watch out… 👀 Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is on-site helping enforce public safety this weekend! 🚔 (And before anyone asks… yes, this was a staged photo for a great cause and an even better picture 📸).

This Memorial Day weekend is about more than fast cars and fun on the track: it’s about honoring and remembering the brave men and women who stood the watch and are no longer with us 🇺🇸

Come visit, check out all the sports cars, and experience the thrill of Talladega Superspeedway while supporting a meaningful mission with a great veteran-focused organization!
