We Will Never Forget

Honoring Our Heroes: The Annual Memorial Races by On Mission Motorsports

Every year, the engines roar and the checkered flags wave, but at the heart of our Annual Memorial Races lies something far deeper: a tribute to the fallen heroes who served and sacrificed for our communities and nation. These special events by On Mission Motorsports is not just about racing—it’s about remembrance, connection, and honoring lives that made an indelible impact.

These heroes may not all have fallen in the line of duty or even in the year of the race, but their service and sacrifice are remembered with reverence and gratitude. They include veterans, law enforcement officers, first responders, and others who gave their lives in the pursuit of something greater than themselves. Their stories—whether of valor on the battlefield, courage in the streets, or steadfast dedication in the quiet moments—deserve to be told.

At the event, each hero’s name is etched into banners that line the track, a striking visual reminder of their legacy. Commemorative shirts bear their names, worn proudly by participants and spectators alike, symbolizing the unity of a community bound by respect and gratitude.

As the races unfold, the names of the fallen are read aloud over the communication system. These moments of recognition cut through the roar of engines, bringing everyone to pause and reflect. It’s a powerful reminder that the freedom and safety we enjoy today are built upon the lives of those who served.

For families and loved ones, these event provide a space for healing and pride. For the community, it’s an opportunity to connect with a sense of purpose. And for the racers, it’s a chance to carry the memory of these heroes with every lap they complete.

Through the Annual Memorial Races, On Mission Motorsports ensures that the stories of these heroes endure—not just as memories, but as inspiration for generations to come. The event is a celebration of life, a solemn remembrance of sacrifice, and a vibrant community coming together in gratitude.
