Interesting new truck record!

from GM's release

Unique 40-foot riggings on the trucks were designed to fold rearward, enabling the Silverado HDs to quickly enter and exit the track. That design requirement made it impossible to enable a driving roll-out of the massive flags. Instead, a team of 20 people launched and retrieved the flags, ensuring they did not touch the ground.

Thanks. That's interesting. Not too hard to imagine something to get them going without touching the ground, but stopping without it touching down took some ingenuity. That's a bigger accomplishment than actually towing the flag even if it gets less attention, IMO.
