The Heritage Invitational is racing back to Ten Tenths Motor Club this weekend with a packed schedule of can’t-miss moments for automotive enthusiasts of every kind.
Friday is set to deliver pure adrenaline, as the 1.7-mile circuit comes alive with high-speed, wheel-to-wheel action, featuring legendary drivers and historic race cars. Saturday, the same circuit transforms into a luxury showcase of some of the coveted collector cars in the world – blending performance, design and history into one unforgettable setting.
With two full days of excitement, here’s what fans won’t want to miss:
Vintage Indy Exhibition Showcases Open-Wheel History
Friday’s action kicks off with a celebration of Vintage Indy racing, bringing more than seven decades of open-wheel history to life. Cars spanning the 1930s through the 1990s will take to the track in spirited sessions, offering fans a rare chance to see the evolution of IndyCar speed, engineering and design in motion. From front-engine classics to sleek modern-era machines, each lap tells a story of innovation and competition at its finest.
IROC Returns with Ultra Star Power
The International Race of Champions (IROC) will make its mid-Atlantic debut at the Heritage Invitational on Friday, bringing motorsports legends together for true wheel-to-wheel competition in iconic IROC race cars. Fans can expect to see racing greats, including four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon, fellow NASCAR Hall of Famers Kurt Busch, Mark Martin and Bobby Labonte, alongside five-time IMSA champion Scott Pruett and a field of other renowned competitors.
Get up close with the stars at the IROC Autograph Session at 2:00 p.m. Friday! Only 75 wristbands will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Fans who secure a spot can have one item signed and will also receive an exclusive event poster.
Racing for a Reason: Celebrity Pro-Am Showdown
Capping off Friday’s action, motorsports legends will pair with amateur drivers in a Celebrity Pro-Am competition. Ten professional drivers from NASCAR, IndyCar and international racing series will compete with amateurs who earned their seats through a Speedway Children’s Charities auction, battling the clock in a fast-paced elimination-style format on the 1.7-mile circuit.
This year’s star-studded roster includes racing stars from the current NASCAR Cup Series champion, Joey Logano, NASCAR Hall of Famer Mark Martin, mult-discipline racers Ken Schrader and Max Papis and other Hall of Fame-caliber drivers, all raising funds for Speedway Children’s Charities.
Heritage Concourse Spotlights Collector Cars
Saturday is all about automotive history, as the Heritage concours transforms Ten Tenths into an immersive gallery of automotive excellence. More than 115 of the world’s most significant collector cars will be displayed throughout the circuit, set against the striking backdrop of Ten Tenths Motor Club. From pre-war icons to European exotics and American performance legends, guests will enjoy a rare, up-close look at the craftsmanship, design and legacy that define the automobile at its highest level.
RADwood Returns
Saturday will also feature the fan-favorite RADwood festival, celebrating the cars and culture of the 1980s and 1990s. From nostalgic stock cars to screen-used movie machines, RADwood captures the era when motorsports and pop culture collided. With period-correct fashion, music and vibrant displays, the festival creates a fully immersive throwback experience.
Highlights of the retro showcase include a Dale Earnhardt tribute featuring a 1981 Pontiac and a 1986 Richard Childress Racing Monte Carlo, honoring “The Intimidator,” along with Darrell Waltrip’s No. 17 TIDE Chevrolet show car—an unmistakable symbol of 1980s NASCAR.
