The Virginia Motorsports Park, along with the Dinwiddie American Legion Post 149, sponsored a day at the races Saturday, June 17 for six veterans from Maguire Veterans Administration Hospital’s Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center. The veterans had the opportunity to see dragsters, junior dragsters and Street Boss cars, which are muscle cars racing at speeds at 100-150mph. Prior to the race the veterans were invited to the starting line to be introduced to the crowd and recognized for their service and patriotism. They were treated to the national anthem and a special invocation (given by our own Collis Bryant, Cornerstone Systems- Porstmouth, VA). Cheered on by the veterans and crowd alike, Anna Bryant (Collis’s wife) won round after round in their famed viper red car which has been featured in the March 1999 issue of High Performance Mopar and the April 2002 issue of Mopar Muscle. Cornerstone Systems is a proud sponsor and our logo can be seen on both quarter panels of the race car.

“All the time and work they put into their cars, it really shows on the race track. It’s amazing,” said William Wright, a Marine veteran. Wright said he truly appreciates the Virginia Motorsports Park sponsoring him and his fellow veterans so that they could enjoy a day at the racetrack. “We don’t need recognition every day but sometimes we like a little touch on the back and they certainly did that today,” Wright said.

Cornerstone proudly salutes our patriotic veterans who have served our nation, defended our liberties and sacrificed so much for us all.
