    UPDATE: NASCAR announced the launch of ‘NASCAR Unites An American Salute’ a patriotic initiative uniting the NASCAR industry and fans this summer to celebrate America and support U.S. military families.NASCAR Nation will be covered from head to toe and from splitter to spoiler in red, white and blue to highlight the summer season, starting and ending at two traditionally patriotic summer NASCAR events held at Charlotte Motor Speedway (Memorial Day Weekend, May 26-27) and Daytona International Speedway (Independence Day Weekend, July 5-7). Additional activities related to the six-week initiative will take place between these ‘tent-pole” events, including retail programs and other sponsor promotions. Teams in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, along with their partners and sponsors, will showcase support for the program in their own individual ways, from displaying the customized logo on their cars and trucks to developing red, white and blue paint schemes. In addition, NASCAR has provided teams with the option of running a specially designed, patriotic-themed package that would incorporate the spoiler as well as other areas of the car. Additional activities related to the platform will include retail programs and other sponsor promotions to be announced in the weeks leading into the Charlotte event weekend.(NASCAR)(4-9-2012)
