Between the flyover and the live band performances, the military had a strong presence at the Talladega Superspeedway during the Jack Link’s 500 NASCAR race weekend.

The 100th Army Band played the U.S. national anthem to kick off the race, which was capped off with a flyover by the 117th Air Refueling Wing out of Birmingham.
