“We are excited to have the Metal Across America tour be a featured part of the Supercross FanFest Experience,” says Metal Hall of Fame President/CEO Pat Gesualdo. “Both organizations share much of the same fan base. Therefore, we are bringing a lot of the rare memorabilia so fans around the country can see it in person firsthand.”
Earlier this season, Supercross athletes Aaron Plessinger, Josh Hill, Talon Hawkins, Robbie Wageman, and Cade Clason all made special appearances on the Red Carpet at the Metal Hall of Fame Celebrity Gala held at the Delta Marriot Garden Grove in Anaheim, California. Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Mick Mars (Motley Crue), Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) and others were inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 Class.
