Hopping back in the #77 Phoenix Patriot Foundation machine for our NASCAR Whelen All-American Series race Saturday at Irwindale Speedway! Phoenix Patriot Foundation & Jesse Iwuji will be dedicating this race to a few important people, starting with wounded veteran DJ Skelton who was severely injured in Fallujah, Iraq. While DJ was leading his troops in a fierce fire fight against insurgents, his life suddenly changed. 6 yrs after that powerful day, he was able to return back to the Calvary and deploy to Afghanistan where he served honorably once again. Phoenix Patriot Foundation & I are also dedicating this race to the 4 Marines who lost their lives Thursday the 16th in Tennessee during the terrorist attack on the two military facilities. We'll have graphics running on the car representing DJ and the 4 Marines so that all of us can honor these valiant men properly for the things they have done to keep us free! This is why I love the foundation! We're supporting warriors who have made that ultimate sacrifice! Be sure to head over to Phoenix Patriot Foundations Facebook page to follow their cause!
