Yellow Ribbon Racing, a not for profit organization, announced today its "Support the Troops" Racing Team for the 2006 Indy Racing League Series (IRL). source: paddocktalk.com The team concept is to feature and promote our armed services, Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard as a tribute to the men and women in harms way protecting the USA. Yellow Ribbon Racing is a support "vehicle" seeking private sponsorship from corporate America and the grassroots backing of the American people. We are very pleased and proud to have received the noted endorsements from the OSD-PA and The America Supports You Foundation said Yellow Ribbon Racing's Managing Director, James Occhipinti. "It paves the way for our team to begin its quest to do something we believe has never been seen in professional sports, a team solely dedicated to keeping America connected with our troops here and abroad, during peace time as well as during war time. Yellow Ribbon Racing's quest is to field two (2) Indy car's for the upcoming 2006 IRL series. Both cars will be dressed in the colors of all 5 branches of service. Car (1) will have the Navy's Blue Angles colors on one half of the car with the other half fitted with the Marines camouflage colors. Car (2) will have the Air Forces Thunderbirds colors with the other half sporting the colors of the Army's camouflage. Both cars will display the colors of the United States Coast Guard as well. Each car will have a yellow line painted down the center of the car. Support for our troops is important at all times and especially when they are in harms way, the Yellow Ribbon Racing team is an outstanding testament of how important our men and women in uniform are to the fabric of America and free people around the world. This team will not only show the support to our troops in the field, but will honor their wives, husbands, children, mothers and fathers as well; there are few places where this is possible, Yellow Ribbon Racing is one of them.
