FORT KNOX, Ky. – Ryan Newman’s NASCAR U.S. Army car will have several passengers at the Kobalt Tools 500 Sprint Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway on Nov. 14. One of them could be you.

Faces of Soldiers and veterans will be included in the paint scheme of the No. 39 U.S. Army Chevrolet for that race three days after Veterans Day. Go online at www.goarmy.com/yourphotohere and submit photos of Soldiers and veterans. Images will be collected through Sept. 24. Those selected will be featured on the hood, trunk, side panels and bumpers of the race car.

"What a cool way for us to say 'thank you' and honor the Army Strong Soldiers who have served our country," said Newman. "This is the Soldiers' car and having the faces of the brave men and women of the U.S. Army represented will be a great inspiration and a powerful reminder of what it means to be Army Strong." 

U.S. Army Racing is managed by U.S. Army Accessions Command of Fort Knox, Ky. Commanded by Lt. Gen. Benjamin Freakley, USAAC meets the human resource needs of the Army by transforming volunteers into officers, warrant officers, and enlisted Soldiers. Its subordinate commands are U.S. Army Cadet Command and U.S. Army Recruiting Command.
