Two of our veteran beneficiaries – Cody Durkin (Operation eMotorsport League) & Eric Holmes (Motorsport Immersion – CrowdStrike Racing by APR) live near VIRginia International Raceway & were able to join us last weekend for the GT World Challenge Powered by AWS. Veterans from our programs don’t always meet each other in person so this was particularly meaningful.

Thank you both for coming!

Five teams within SRO Motorsports Group’s series are hosting Motorsport Immersion participants this year. At every race, these former soldiers are using skills they learned in service, building new skills & becoming members of their race teams & the motorsport community.

Thank you to SRO, OGH Motorsports, Archangel Motorsport Services, Thunder Bunny Racing & Random Vandals Racing for hosting our veterans.

Powersports Garage will also support OpMo’s two Mazda entries in the Veterans Race of Remembrance.

“Powersports Garage is in its first year working with Operation Motorsport & we couldn’t be more proud to be selected for the Veterans Race of Remembrance. Every opportunity we’ve had to work with this group has been fantastic. We can’t wait to get to VIRginia International Raceway,” Jay Fredericks, team principle, Powersports Garage.

The CrowdStrike Veterans Race of Remembrance Powered by AWS (Nov. 7-9, 2025, VIRginia International Raceway) features fast cars, diverse racing & plenty of info for veterans. But that’s not all it’s about.

This event benefits Operation Motorsport – an organization that recognized the good motorsport can do for veterans who’ve been medically released/retired from the military or have a service-connected disability & decided to do something about it.

This season, 20 veterans are criss-crossing the U.S. & Canada working with racing series or teams through the Motorsport Immersion program, while the Operation eMotorsport iRacing League continues to flourish as a supportive, engaging community online.

These programs are powered by a small team of passionate volunteers & staff who are excited about launching this new event so that even more veterans can regain their sense of Team, Identity & Purpose.
