The CrowdStrike Veterans Race of Remembrance Powered by AWS returns November 6–8, 2026, at VIRginia International Raceway as North America’s premier endurance motorsport event dedicated to honoring military service and advancing veteran recovery through motorsport. Sanctioned by the United States Auto Club (USAC) and presented in partnership with CrowdStrike and Amazon Web Services, the event is held annually over Veterans / Remembrance Day weekend and stands as a powerful tribute to those who have served.

Inspired by the original Race of Remembrance founded by Mission Motorsport in the United Kingdom, the 2026 edition introduces an expanded endurance format highlighted by an 8-hour, multi-class endurance race designed to accommodate four-driver lineups and deliver greater competitive and commemorative value. The race will again pause mid-event for a solemn Remembrance Service, ensuring reflection remains at the heart of the competition.

The 2026 program features a strengthened class structure, including dedicated prototype categories for Sebeco and Radical machinery, alongside GT and touring-based classes, plus additional sprint races and a full open test day included for entered teams. Across more than 18 hours of total track activity, the event brings together veterans, professional and amateur racers, teams, partners, and supporters in a shared mission—honoring sacrifice, restoring purpose, and demonstrating the healing power of motorsport.

What people say about Race of Remembrance

“Returning to RoR after a 2-year break with a larger team and multiple cars was a tremendous undertaking. Watching the team form and prep the cars on Thursday morning after never really working together created an atmosphere of anxiousness and excitement.” recalled Race Team Manager & OpMo COO Jason Leach, “The mentorship from the professionals from Skip Barber Racing School ensured the teams’ two fielded cars could and would finish the race. Watching our Beneficiary drivers run within a second of each other and not far off the pace of our pro drivers was a previously unimaginable success story. The team struggled from time to time and was challenged across this 12-hour race, but everything came together when we witnessed the Canadian and US car cross the finish line together. I'm truly proud of everyone involved with this program and am already awaiting the next time we can race together.”

“The night of the Heroes dinner I was privileged to meet the force of nature that is James Cameron. (CEO Mission Motorsport UK) He asked me how I was enjoying the track,” recollected Jason Bivins, driver #22, “I let him know that it’s great, but our practice sessions were cold and wet, and a bit of a challenge for this California boy. He smiled and told me…just wait. You’re going to be out on track this weekend and all of the sudden you will see the Irish Sea gleaming, and then off in the distance the beautiful peaks of Snowdonia, and you’ll realize how special this place is. This is exactly what happened for me on Sunday afternoon! I was breathless. An unforgettable event.”

Huw Leahy driver #220 recalls, “Having brought two cars from overseas with limited room for support tools made the race that much more difficult and riskier for the team. A little creativity and the occasional trip into town kept the cars running to the end and enabled both cars to finish in the top 10 in-class.”

“So proud of this incredible group of men & women who crossed oceans to come together as a team and compete in the 2022 12-hour Race of Remembrance,” reminisced Travis Hill OpMo board member, TWOth Autosport Principle and driver #220, “Operation Motorsport was created to support medically retiring and retired service members from Canada and the United States. On Remembrance Day weekend, they showed just how much progress has been made, both as an organization and individually over the past few years and the impact it’s had on all of our lives. It’s an honor to get to know these fine people, compete alongside them, and build lifelong friendships. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey.”

“A picture-perfect photo of both Operation Motorsport cars crossing the finish line at the same time almost didn’t happen,” recollects Kevin Boehm driver #22, “25 minutes before the end of the race, the cars were 25 seconds apart. Our beneficiaries got together, consulted with others, came up with a plan, and closed the gap WITHOUT losing position. Best of all, both drivers were also beneficiaries and not professional drivers. Many of our military veterans arrived in Wales as strangers to each other, never having worked together. The side-by-side photo finish summarizes end of the 2022 Race of Remembrance—we were a team. Enormously proud of our beneficiaries, you carried the names on the hoods of the cars with honor.”

“Congratulations to all of the beneficiaries, words cannot describe how incredibly proud we all are of this team, each and every one of them have come together and stepped up to the challenge and demonstrated to all of us how powerful Veteran Recovery Through Motorsport can be”, says OpMo CEO & Cofounder Diezel Lodder. “Thank you to all of the drivers, volunteers, partners, and supporters for believing in the mission and helping us get to the finish line with our heads held high.”
