ANNOUNCER: 

IT WAS A SINGULAR SHOW OF PATRIOTISM THIS WEEKEND FROM CHICAGO TO CHARLOTTE.  FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, GOODYEAR PUT NEW WORDING ON THE SIDES OF THEIR NASCAR AND N-H-R-A RACING TIRES.  ALL DRIVERS IN NASCAR’S SPRINT CUP, NATIONWIDE AND TRUCK SERIES AND MANY DRIVERS IN N-H-R-A’S TOP FUEL AND FUNNY CAR SERIES RAN ON UNIQUE TIRES EMBOSSED WITH THE WORDS “SUPPORT OUR TROOPS” ON THE SIDEWALL IN RED, WHITE AND BLUE.  HERE IS FORMER NASCAR DRIVER AND TEAM OWNER RICHARD CHILDRESS: 

RICHARD CHILDRESS:

“I’ve always been a big supporter of our Armed Forces so it was really special for me that Goodyear is giving everyone in NASCAR and the NHRA a special way to recognize and honor the sacrifices that they and their families make.  So, I encourage everyone to help us say thank you by getting involved!”
