The color guard and drill team from Riverside Military Academy will spend this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway sharing the significance of how the American flag is folded, then present the colors for the national anthem and do the flag folds at Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 NASCAR race. Lt. Col. Kenny Payne, Riverside’s senior Army instructor, said “it’s an honor for us to pair up with QuikTrip,” which is sponsoring the race and the fan zone. Payne said the Riverside cadets will spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the fan zone stage demonstrating and explaining the 13 folds of the flag.
