The teams consist of drivers from various military backgrounds, including Joey Hand (Army), Austin Cindric (Air Force), and Ryan Blaney (Navy). The event will also include a concert headlined by Zac Brown Band, with appearances from Bryan Cranston and professional wrestler Braun Strowman. Tickets are available for purchase, with special discounts for veterans and a portion of proceeds going to Blue Star Families.
