Bowling Green, Ky. – This year one of the most popular Funny Car racers of all time Tom Hoover will serve as Grand Marshal of the 10th Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion presented by AAA, June 14-16 at Beech Bend Raceway Park. Tom will be joined by Honorees Jack Ditmars, Jack Moss, Bennie Osborn, Jere Stahl, and Bill Stebbins.

“It’s an honor to be named Grand Marshal and it’s going to be a fun time to remember the good old days of nostalgia drag racing,” said Tom Hoover. “I spent a good part of my life racing and had a good time doing it. And, I’m still a big fan.”

This year’s Grand Marshal, Honorees and other notable drag racing pioneers will be given special recognition at the annual Honoree Reception held at the host hotel, the Holiday Inn University Plaza. Everyone is welcome to attend and it’s free. Two "Meet and Greet" autograph sessions will be held at the track in the Dynamat Dynamic Legends tent.
