drivers race to patriotism
When Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and dozens of other NASCAR drivers were asked to participate in a public service announcement to support our troops and military spouses, the "Race to Patriotism" began!
"As family and teamwork are shared lifelines in the military and NASCAR, please join me in "A Race To Patriotism" to support the challenges that our home-front heroes endure," encouraged Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart as they delivered their PSA. Jeff's and Tony’s PSAs are currently airing in F.Y.E. (For Your Entertainment) Stores across the country.
NASCAR drivers were asked to participate in order to support the global nomination process for the Military Spouse "Angel" Awards, and also in an effort to show the parallels between NASCAR and the Military: family, teamwork and sacrifice.
•Our service members and NASCAR drivers could not do what they do without their family's support.
•Our service members and NASCAR drivers could not do what they do without their team's support and working together.
•Our service members and NASCAR drivers both endanger their lives ... though in different ways.
In cooperation with NASCAR, these PSAs for raising awareness and support of our troops, military spouses and their families are being distributed worldwide on Department of Defense Televisions Networks, and domestically on all forms of television.
