Good morning and Merry Christmas. One of my favorite days, getting to watch @AmyEarnhardt open her presents. She’s an angel. Hope everyone is safe and happy.

Air Force Announces Continued Partnership with Richard Petty Motorsports For 2018

Proud To Welcome Back The United States Air Force To The Famed No. 43 In 2018!

The Air Force begins its 18th year of sponsorship in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, partnering with Richard Petty Motorsports for a 10th consecutive season.

Air Force Recruiting Service, charged with the mission to inspire, engage and recruit future Airmen, sees the continued association as an opportunity to build awareness about the Air Force.

“The Air Force is excited to partner with Richard Petty Motorsports once again and this year we are ‘enlisting’ a new driver, Darrell “Bubba” Wallace, Jr.,” said Timothy Hanson, Air Force Recruiting Service Strategic Marketing Division chief. “NASCAR and other motorsports align well with our target audience’s interests and the Air Force’s commitment to teamwork and technology.”

As a partner of the new No. 43 Chevrolet Camaro, the Air Force team will be featured during the two most patriotic race weekends of the year: July 4th weekend at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and Veterans Day weekend at Phoenix (Ariz.) International Raceway.

“The combination of Bubba Wallace and the iconic No. 43 provides a continuing sponsorship opportunity that reflects our Air Force core values and has a positive impact on generating public awareness about the U.S. Air Force, our people and our mission,” Hanson said. “Like NASCAR, much of our work is based on science, technology, engineering and math principles and this sponsorship is a great way to highlight that connection.”

“I’m proud to join the men and women of the Air Force and represent them on and off the track,” said Wallace. “I’m also really looking forward to meeting the next wave of Airmen and play my part to engage, inspire and bring awareness to the unique opportunities which lie within our United States Air Force. I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with some Airmen and they are the best at what they do. I admire them for their service and the protections they provide our country.”

“The U.S. Air Force has been partners with us for a long time,” added Richard Petty, Co-Owner, Richard Petty Motorsports. “It’s a special partnership for us because we get to thank the men and women who protect our freedom each weekend, but also get to talk to new recruits about the Air Force and what opportunities they have. It’s been great for both of us.”

Intruders at Richard Childress' Home Carried Military-Style Weapons

Reward Now Increased to $50,000

Three intruders had military-style weapons when they tried to break into the North Carolina home of NASCAR team owner and 2017 Hall of Fame inductee Richard Childress late Sunday, authorities said Friday.

Childress, 72, said he was upstairs with his wife at about 10:30 p.m. when he heard glass shatter downstairs. He grabbed his handgun, went downstairs and fired multiple shots at the home invaders, scaring them off, according to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office.

The intruders broke a window beside a doorknob, which sounded an alarm, the Winston-Salem Journal and other news outlets reported.

Away from the track, Childress is a businessman, philanthropist and conservationist – he loves wine, the outdoors and investing in America’s youth. Childress also enjoys spending his free time outdoors and has been an avid hunter and fisherman since he was a child.

He proudly supports the Congressional Sportsman Foundation and served two terms on the organization’s board. Childress also supports the Boone & Crocket Club as well as non-government organizations like Ducks Unlimited and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. 

In 2015, he was elected as second vice president of the National Rifle Association after serving as a board member for the largest pro-Second Amendment organization in the United States. Childress currently serves as the NRA’s first vice president.

Grandpa Childress with Austin and Ty Dillon

Childress’ family shares his love for motorsports. His grandsons, Austin and Ty Dillon, began racing under the RCR banner in the early 2000s.

When he was sixty-five, Childress and driver Kyle Busch were involved in a physical confrontation after a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway.  Busch had made contact with RCR driver Joey Coulter on the cool-down lap of Saturday's Truck race – apparently drawing Childress' ire.  Richard Childress was fined $150000 for the altercation.

NASCAR Race Mom's advice to would be criminals - pick on someone a tad more pusillanimous to rob.

I am proud of my grandfather for the man he is. The criminals that tried to attack him and my grandma would have stopped at nothing to get whatever it was they wanted. We are blessed to live in a country that allows the right to bare arms, protect the 2nd amendment #JoinTheNRA
