As we gear up for the upcoming Speedway 5000, we’re excited to introduce a great opportunity for local businesses to connect with our runners in a meaningful way.
This year, we’re creating a Virtual Goodie Bag that will be distributed to all registered participants ahead of race day—and we’d love for you to be part of it!
What is the Virtual Goodie Bag?
Instead of traditional race giveaways, our virtual goodie bag gives businesses the chance to share exclusive offers, discounts, and promotions directly with an engaged, active audience.
Think of it as a direct line to potential new customers who are excited, energized, and ready to explore the community.
Example Offer:
“SHOW YOUR SPEEDWAY 5000 BIB OR MEDAL IN STORE FOR A 10% DISCOUNT”

Following the ceremony, attendees enjoyed a musket demonstration and DAR/SAR horse-and-buggy tours, adding to the day’s celebration of history and heritage.
We are proud to celebrate the start of a new season at the Village. Fiddlers Grove is officially open for the season, and we invite everyone to experience the enduring stories that define Wilson County and Tennessee’s place in America’s history!
