VETERAN DRIVERS, CREW & TEAM OWNERS: Most of the teams competing have a direct tie to the military, in the U.S., Canada or the UK.

Operation Motorsport’s four cars provided by Random Vandals Racing (US) and Powersports Garage (Canada) will be crewed by medically released/retired military veterans who participate in the nonprofit organization’s Motorsport Immersion program. Random Vandals’ team owner Paul Sparta is a U.S. Navy veteran.

HEROES DINNER: The race weekend begins Friday evening with the signature Heroes Dinner, a cornerstone event of the CrowdStrike Veterans Race of Remembrance Powered by AWS. This casual evening in a formal setting honors service, recovery and resilience, bringing together veterans, sponsors, team members and supporters to celebrate the mission of “Veteran Recovery Through Motorsport.” The dinner emcee is renowned motorsport commentator Ryan Myrehn, features a keynote from CJ Moses CISO, VP of Security Engineering at Amazon, veteran and race car driver, and remarks from leaders in both the military/veteran and motorsport communities, as well as a live auction of unique motorsport collectables and memorabilia.
