Texas A&M University said two race cars that carried its branding this year will travel to College Station on Nov. 14. The cars will be displayed at the Aggie Fan Zone before the football game against Tennessee at Kyle Field. The cars are the Meyer Shank Racing No. 60 Honda, driven by Felix Rosenqvist at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., and the Haas Factory Team No. 41 Chevrolet Camaro, driven by Cole Custer. The No. 41 car was a tribute to former President George H.W. Bush at NASCAR's inaugural race at Naval Base Coronado. The university said the event is titled "Fueling a Force for Good: Honoring Service. Celebrating Freedom."
Fans can see the cars and the drivers' firesuits up close. Attendees will receive free commemorative posters and postcards, and a limited number of hats and other racing collectibles will be given away. Die-cast replicas with paint schemes from the university's 2026 motorsports season can be pre-ordered at the Fan Zone and through the 12th Man Shop. Ethan Braden, the university's vice president and chief marketing and communications officer, said the partnerships are about sharing the university's story and celebrating service and innovation. "Bringing these cars to campus gives Aggies another chance to be part of that story," Braden said.
