KERNERSVILLE, N.C. (November 10, 2008) --  Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) has renewed their partnership with the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) for the 2009 season. The VFW Racing team will continue a presence in both the NASCAR Truck and Nationwide Series.

Three-time Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday’s No. 33 truck will feature the VFW Racing paint scheme and logo in several races next year. Two-time Nationwide Series champion and KHI co-owner Kevin Harvick will also drive VFW's No. 33 car in the Nationwide Series. The red, white and blue VFW car and truck will compete in eight events next season. The No. 33 VFW Racing truck will make its first appearance of 2009 on March 7 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The VFW logo will also appear as an associate on the No. 33 Camping World Chevrolet Silverado throughout the 2009 racing season.

“Everyone at KHI is excited to continue working with the Veterans of Foreign Wars on their NASCAR effort to bring exposure to the many services the VFW provides,” said Kevin Harvick , co-owner of KHI.  “VFW is an incredible organization, and we expect this program will continue to help educate the public about the great work they do to support our country’s heroes.”

The VFW is the nation’s oldest and most respected veterans service organization. Its mission is to honor the sacrifice and ensure the rights of American war veterans through advocacy, support and community service, while promoting patriotism.

“Our racing program is designed to raise awareness of veterans’ issues and increase support for the VFW’s programs,” said VFW’s National Commander Glen Gardner. “Most Americans would be surprised at the wide range of support the VFW provides to veterans and their families, from financial assistance for families of deployed troops to dedicated VFW service officers to aid veterans in filing benefits claims.  We believe the exposure we’ll get from our continued partnership with KHI will help us to meet the growing demand for our services.”

A fan site, www.vfwracing.org, will continue to be active. In addition to checking racing statistics and updates, visitors can learn more about the VFW and celebrate our American heroes.
