Through the support of NASCAR team owner, Ron Devine and his BK Racing team, Armed Forces Motorsports will make a NASCAR Sprint Cup appearance at Daytona International Speedway for the 4th of July weekend race event. The AFM logo will be featured on the hood of the #83 Toyota Camry Sprint Cup car driven by Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender Ryan Truex. Additionally, the car’s design will focus on a ‘Text-to-Donate’ Campaign, as well as a special wrap which will sport the logos of hip hop recording artist B Taylor’s ‘1-Life Movement’ and Warrior Gateway, AFM’s outreach partner. The weekend race will also serve as the official launch of the 1-Life Movement, a program centered on B Taylor’s new Hip Hop single release ‘1 Life.’ The Armed Forces Motorsports Foundation is a Virginia-based, federally registered 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit Organization. AFMF was born in early 2013 out of necessity – a need to provide direct support to our veterans. The Foundation’s signature program is the ‘Veteran’s Resource Summit.’ In short, the Summit is a one stop resource fair that will bring together local, state and federal agencies and organizations that serve our veterans. The summit will also serve as a platform to help veterans reintegrate back into their communities by bringing the two together.(BK Racing)(7-2-2014)
UPDATE: The now familiar Mardi Gras colors of purple and gold for New Orleans, LA based VooDooBBQ & Grill will return for this weekend’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway with Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender Ryan Truex. VooDooBBQ & Grill served as the primary sponsor of the #83 earlier this year at Richmond and Talladega. VooDooBBQ & Grill has continued as an associate sponsor for 2014 until the opportunity presented itself to have them as a primary sponsor once again. The hood of the #83 will be co-branded with Armed Forces Motorsports Foundation (AFM). The AFM logo will focus on a ‘Text-to-Donate’ Campaign, as well as a special hood wrap which will sport the logos of hip hop recording artist B Taylor’s ‘1-Life Movement’ and Warrior Gateway, AFM’s outreach partner.(BK Racing)(7-3-2014)
