As NASCAR returns back to television screens this Sunday, June 7 for the 2020 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 race at Atlanta Motor Speedway (AMS), QuikTrip (QT) will host a Virtual Tailgate to engage NASCAR fans and those who are unable to attend the annual event in person this year.

QT's Virtual Tailgate begins at 1:45 p.m. Eastern Time and will feature family-friendly entertainment leading up to the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 race at 3 p.m. Fans can join the Tailgate online, following a link that QT will share on its social media pages (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).

Traditionally known as one of the most patriotic events of the entire NASCAR season, the race pays tribute to United States military service-members and their families. QT and its charity partner Folds of Honor will continue the tradition by featuring several patriotic elements during the Virtual Tailgate and race.

"We know the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 will look and feel different this year, but it is important to QT, Folds of Honor and AMS that we continue to engage with the fans and give them an experience in lieu of the traditional race activities this year," said QuikTrip Marketing & Communications Manager Mendi Parker. "We encourage NASCAR fans to watch our Virtual Tailgate where they can enjoy some great music, exclusive interviews with drivers and learn about unique behind-the-scenes elements of the race."
