March 1, 2022 – Holly, Michigan – Must See Racing today announced they will be rolling out the carpet for all veterans during this year’s second annual American Speed U.S. Nationals May 27-28 in the spirit of Memorial Day Weekend.
In addition to two days of sprint car racing highlighted by the Must See Racing Sprint Series presented by Engine Pro, there will be an Opening Ceremony Warbird WWII flyover Saturday, as well as a special ticket being offered to veterans that includes an all access pit pass and barbeque/cookout.
Other Opening Ceremony activities include an appearance by the Honor Guard, 21 Gun Salute, and the Bagpipe Corps.
The Hooligan Flight Team Flyover will include a formation of T-34 ‘Mentor’ and T-17 ‘Navion’ aircraft.
The Hooligans originated in the late 1990’s when Russ McDonald got the idea for the name “Hooligans” from a book listing nose art for fighter groups in WWII. John Workman and Russ founded the group as the “Grey Haired Hooligans, but that was later changed when one of the team members (a female) refused to be associated with grey-haired anything! The team then became The Hooligans. The motto of the team became, “If it makes them smile, it’s worthwhile.” The number one goal of the Hooligan Flight Team is to honor veterans, especially WWII vets.
In addition to the Hooligan Flight Team Flyover, aircraft buffs will also be delighted to know that a Vietnam era ‘Huey’ helicopter will also be on display.
Veterans who plan on attending this year’s event will be offered a special ticket for only $35 on Saturday night that will give veterans access to the grandstands as well as the pits. In addition, the ticket will be good for the barbecue/cookout at the Steadfast for Veterans hospitality Tent. Other activities taking place at the tent include a driver meet and great and a 50/50 raffle to benefit Steadfast for Veterans.
The two-day event will be a bonanza of racing featuring the Must See racing 410 series, Maxima Racing Oils Midwest Lights series, Zoo Stocks, Ohio Wheelman Series, and the MCR Dwarf Cars.
