National Wild Turkey Federation on the #3: The National Wild Turkey Federation’s turkey logo is flying around the track again this weekend on Richard Childress Racing’s Bass Pro Shops sponsored #3 Chevy driven by Austin Dillon in the Nationwide Series. Dillon is hoping the turkey will land across the finish line first in the History 300 race on Saturday, May 26th at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. The salute to the NWTF is a part of the Conservation Fund’s ‘Racing for America’s Wildlifeâ program. The program is designed to engage the NASCAR community in conserving America’s hunting and fishing heritage through habitat protection, restoration, education, and outreach. The NWTF is the leader in upland wildlife habitat conservation in North America. A nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving the wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage, the NWTF, its volunteers and partners have raised and spent more than $331 million to conserve nearly 16 million acres of habitat. Wild turkeys and hundreds of other species of upland wildlife, including quail, deer, grouse, pheasant and songbirds, benefit from this improved habitat.(Bas Pro Shops), see an image of the car on the #3 team paint schemes page.(5-23-2012)
