Vets ‘n Vettes – Honoring Those Who Fought For Our Freedom

This November, as part of Military Appreciation Month, the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky will be hosting its 10th Annual “Vets ‘n Vettes.”  This special three day event will be presented by Mobil 1 and hosted at the NCM’s Motorsports Park from November 8-10, 2018 to recognize and celebrate local Veterans for their service in our armed forces.

NCM Motorsports Park Vets 'n Vettes
On Thursday, November 8, 2018, attendees will be able to enjoy laps around the NCM’s Motorsports Park.

“Vets ‘n Vettes” starts on Thursday, November 8th and will feature a day long track event at the Motorsports Park.  Local Corvette owners will provide Veterans with a ride around the 3. 15 mile racetrack, allowing them an opportunity to experience the track firsthand as a passenger in a Corvette.  All participants for this event MUST register in advance in order to drive their car on the track during this event.  Complimentary lunch will be served to both the drivers and the Veterans in attendance.  The NCM track is located at 505 Grimes Road (just off Porter Pike) in Bowling Green, Ky., and the ride-alongs will be hosted from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. central time.

On Friday, participants will participate in one of two sponsored events.  The first will be the “LT1: General Jackson Showboat“ which will feature a 2.5-hour river cruise on the General Jackson as it travels up the Cumberland River from its launch at Opry Mills to downtown Nashville, Tennessee.  Guests will enjoy an afternoon of entertainment along with a delicious lunch buffet.   Registration for this excursion is $65.00 and does not include transportation to-or-from the event.
