FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, February 23, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Space Force Association (SFA) Florida Chapter working with Boss Laser sponsored Air and Space Night during the 57th annual NASCAR World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing event held in New Smyra Beach Speedway earlier this month. The event was kicked off by Col James Horne, Deputy Director of Launch and Range Operations for Space Systems Command at Patrick Space Force Base. Active Duty Military were provided free admission on Friday and Saturday February 10th and 11th. The event hosted approximately 10,000 spectators and was attended by many professional NASCAR drivers getting ready for the upcoming Daytona 500.
“Providing opportunities like these for our Guardians, Airmen, and all active duty military is what Space Force Association is all about” commented Martin Amen, Vice President of the SFA local chapter. “A lot of thanks goes out to sponsors like Boss Laser who share in a deep appreciation for our military.”
While the cars are not even close to how fast the rockets take off nearby at Cape Canaveral, the speed, intensity and competition was impressive. It is the Florida Chapter’s intent to continue to work with sponsors on offering these type of events to include next year’s NASCAR World Series.
