Ford and Disabled American Veterans celebrate 100-years: To join Wood Brothers Racing at Gateway

 

Wood Brothers Racing

    Wood Brothers Racing and Harrison Burton will help Ford and the Disabled American Veterans celebrate a very long milestone relationship.

Their No. 21 Ford Mustang will carry a special paint scheme celebrating the 100-year relationship between Ford and the Disabled American Veterans.

That relationship began in 1922 when Ford provided 50 Model T's for veterans of the first World War to attend the second national DAV convention.  In the years since, Ford has worked to ensure that veterans have access to reliable transportation to reach their healthcare and medical appointments.

Ford’s efforts on behalf of veterans are also evident in the company’s employment of approximately 6,000 veterans.  Since 2019, the Ford-Lincoln Veteran Careers Program has been a part of New Ford Tech, a program that hires and trains Ford service technicians.

The "Enjoy Illinois" 400 at Worldwide Technology Raceway at Gateway will take place on Sunday, June 5th. Live television coverage will start at 3:30 PM EST on FOX Sports 1.
