Dr. James Popovich and Dr. April Smith will compete for the SRMC team; Melody Klosky and Terry Petersen are on The Center's team; and Hunter Arterburn and Justin Richards are in for The Big Boy.
Contestants will go through four training sessions by taking classes offered at the Cheyenne County Community Center. Each week will feature a new class with one of their instructors on The Big Boy 987 Facebook page.
Deeona Johnstone, Catie Bondegard, Hope Feeney and Emily Thomas are past racers in the event.
The 3rd Annual Big Boy Big Wheel Race will be carried live on 98.7 FM, newschannelnebraska.com, the free NCN app, and The Big Boy's Facebook page.
