The Warbirds will offer up an encore flyover performance for the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway, repeating their amazing effort from last fall.
The Warbirds, a group of five former military pilots flying vintage post-World War II-type aircraft, will present the pre-race flyover for the STP 500 on March 30.
“This group put on such an amazing performance last fall that we had to have them back,” said Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell. “Their flyover was one of the best we’ve ever had. It was amazing. I still have people stop me and tell me how good it was.”
The Warbirds have performed since 2009 at other sporting events, including the 2013 CokeZero 400 at Daytona International Speedway, the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins football games, and the Players Championship golf tournament.
The Warbirds’ team is led by Henry K. “Hoot” Gibson, a former Naval aviator and Gulf War veteran.
