Iowa 80 Trucking Museum will host racers competing in the Hemming’s Motor News Great Race, a cross-country road rally of antique vehicles on Sunday, June 26^th from 11:30 PM – 2:30 PM.   “We know many of the competitors and staff. It will be fun to reconnect with them”, says Delia Moon Meier, Senior Vice President.
