Museum of American Speed to Host 2nd Annual Wheel Hub Live
Museum of American Speed announced today they will host the 2nd Annual Wheel Hub Live in Lincoln, Neb. Memorial Day weekend May 24-25.
Wheel Hub Live at the Museum of American Speed, presented by Speedway Motors, PPG and ARP brings together incredible cars previously featured on the pages of Wheel Hub Magazine for a weekend full of festivities for car lovers. Last year’s event drew over 5,000 specialty vehicles and spectators throughout the weekend.
“We succeeded in creating an event which brought the nation’s best custom cars to the Midwest to be exhibited, demonstrated and celebrated. Participants and the best builders joined us from all across the country last year and we gave car enthusiasts an automotive happening unlike any other in the country,” said Tim Matthews curator of the Museum of American Speed. “With the overwhelming response to last year’s event and the best cars and builders lined up once again, the second annual event is going to be even bigger and better!”
“We are excited to bring the pages of Wheel Hub Magazine to life at the Museum of American Speed giving participants and spectators a chance to see some of the greatest cars on earth,” said Stephen Kim Wheel Hub Magazine publisher.
