Racing to support heroes across the country

Gaining the advantage in the 15-Lap Five-O main event race means being more than the fastest first responder. The starting grid is determined by total donations raised by each driver for the nationally recognized Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Whomever collects the most dollars will sit in the pole position! Over $10,000 in donations are expected and at least one former winner of the Five-O is returning to protect his title!
