The Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, Nebraska is set to host the 3rd Annual Wheel Hub Live event on May 23 and 24. This gathering brings together an impressive array of custom vehicles that have been featured in Wheel Hub Magazine, offering a weekend filled with excitement for car lovers. Last year's event attracted over 5,000 specialty cars and spectators. Tim Matthews, curator of the Museum of American Speed, expressed enthusiasm about welcoming participants back for this year's edition, promising it to be even better than before.
This year’s showcase features an inspiring collection of automobiles spread throughout the museum's newly expanded 30,000 square feet. The Friday Wheel Hub Live Reliability Run offers participants a chance to cruise through Nebraska's best hot rod destinations for $60 per person, including meals. On Saturday, visitors can bring their specialty vehicles to gain access to two museum passes without needing prior registration. Local sponsors such as Visit Lincoln and Firespring support this rain-or-shine event, which encourages all enthusiasts to attend.
