Since its founding in 2012, the organization has helped more than 200 injured veterans participate in over 80 motorcycle and auto racing events nationwide.
“We’re honored to be included among such a distinguished lineup of speakers," said Cline. “The Stand 21 Foundation has shown an admirable commitment to our cause by having us interview our program alumni and discuss how motorsports can connect with the military and veteran community. We’re looking forward to a great event and an exciting race weekend."
