#4-Kevin Harvick visited the Ft. Eustis Army Base in Virginia in advance of the Saturday, September 6, Federated Auto Parts 400 at RIR. The base was a fitting venue to let all the soldiers know about RIR’s Military Appreciation Program. While on base, Harvick tested his skills on an Apache helicopter simulator with the 128th Aviation Brigade; took a tour of the 7th Transportation Brigade, also known as the ‘Army’s Navy,’ and spoke with the men and women who protect our country on a daily basis. ‘I look at the NASCAR world in general, in the sports world, as one of the biggest supporters of our military, and we couldn’t be more thankful for what they do for us,’ said Harvick. ‘It allows us to live our lives as we do, and there are a lot of sacrifices made for us to do so.’ NASCAR weekend in Richmond kicks off Friday, September 5, with the Virginia529 College Savings 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race.
