It’s not just about vehicles, it’s about food trucks, vendors, and quality family entertainment. I like to refer to it as the place where Chrome, Custom Paint & Grub Collide with Music & Fun, all while raising funds for the kids at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital! AND IT’S ALL FREE TO SPECTATORS! Yes, NO FEE TO THE PUBLIC!
On Friday, August 18th, Bluegrass Legends will partner with the premier riverfront summer festival in Kentucky, famously known as Friday After 5 in downtown Owensboro. We will have custom car parking, custom vehicles displayed along the waterfront & music themed to move the body & soul of motorsport enthusiast.
On Friday you can participate in a fun cruising route in town, or choose to go to a street vehicle Tech & Tune opportunity at Windy Hollow Dragway where you can run your car on the dragstrip! (For those that choose to be Gear-Heads).

Bluegrass Biker News is proud to present this letter of endorsement of our national events, as well a full endorsement of our 2023 event in Owensboro Kentucky by a motorsports announcer/event producer:
Army Armstrong.
The relationship story behind the Army & Jimmy:
During the early 1970’s while growing up and spending summers at Beech Bend Amusement Park located in Bowling Green Kentucky. Jimmy’s parents were both employed by Charlie and Martha Garvin, Founders of Beech Bend, Jimmy was considered an adopted grandson by Charlie and Martha,. During These years Jimmy was taking in every aspect of racing and amusement park operations on and around the property of Beech Bend.
Army was a young up and coming drag racer who ran weekly on the nationally recognized quarter mile dragstrip, in a Volkswagen beetle named “Macon Bacon”
A friendship between Army and Jimmy that was established in 1974 has continued to grow for a lifetime. Jimmy throughout his professional career has learned, watched and admired three motorsports’ commentators:
Army Armstrong, Chris Economaki and Barry Boone and has the privilege to work at varying events with them in a media capacity.
Two of these commentating icons have passed, Chris Economaki 2012 and Barry Boone in 2017 but even today they instill their influence on Jimmy every time he turns on a microphone, plans or attends an event, be it a race, show or media presentation.
Army Armstrong happens to be the last of these legends in motorsports, and Jimmy continues to look to Army for guidance, planning and presenting events and by receiving Army’s letter of recommendation is both proud and honored to work on the 2023 Bluegrass Legends Experience for you.
A commentator’s job is simple and was described to Jimmy in the same way from all the Mentors:
“ It’s our job to tell and explain to everyone in the most colorful way what you see”
Bluegrass Biker News is proud to announce our OVERNIGHT SECURITY TEAM. V.E.T. Veterans Empowered Together a 501.C3 Organization of modern era Veterans will be keeping the Bluegrass Legends Experience Grounds and your Vehicle or Vendor Display Safe And Secure Overnight. From 8pm - 8am Both Friday and Saturday.
Who better than military trained personnel to keep your possessions safe while on display at this event. They will be working in tandem with Owensboro Police Department throughout the night.
Since 1999, when Janie looked at Jimmy and said, “We Can Help” The Bluegrass Biker News Motorsports/Motorcycle/Music Idea was born. From that thought during a charitable event to getting response and support from thousands of people to get out there and attend, hundred of charitable events, concerts, bike nights and car shows have been and will continue to grow.
From an idea, to a three-ring binder and weaving our way through the world wide web using social media and retail business partnerships. Bluegrass Biker News Motorsports/Motorcycle/Music has helped raise thousands of dollars and create hundreds of successful events. Jump on board, but hang on tight, because once you join in our mission to be apart of something bigger and better the Bluegrass Biker News Motorsports/Motorcycle/Music network will keep you informed and wanting to attend the next event on our schedule.
