NEW HOLLAND, PA (June 1, 2013) ā€“ In honor and memory of our nationā€™s Armed Forces, New Holland, the Official Agricultural Equipment of NASCARĀ®, is partnering with ā€œNASCAR: An American Saluteā€ in grateful recognition of the courage, service and sacrifice of the nationā€™s military and their families.

Visitors to New Hollandā€™s True Blue Salute website are invited to show their appreciation to our military heroes by writing a ā€œthank youā€ letter to a member of the Armed Forces. For each ā€˜thank youā€ letter sent, New Holland will donate $1, up to $10,000, to the Fisher House Foundation. The non-profit Fisher House Foundation provides a “home away from home” for military families to be close to a loved one during hospitalization for an illness or injury.

The Fisher House Foundation will also receive proceeds from the auction of a New Holland compact tractor hood, autographed by the winning drivers of sixteen memorable 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. Bearing the signatures by many of NASCARā€™s top drivers, the hood, nicknamed ā€œChampā€, crisscrossed the country from race to race to be autographed in Victory Lane by 2012 Sprint Cup race winners. Autographs include those of Brad Keselowski, the 2012 Sprint Cup Series champion, and Matt Kenseth, winner of the history-making 2012 Daytona 500. Additional autographs include some of the sportsā€™ best drivers, such as: Marcos Ambrose, Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Ryan Newman, and Tony Stewart. ā€œChampā€ will be auctioned on The NASCAR Foundation website at NASCAR.com/foundation.

ā€œIt is fitting that this tractor hood, signed by NASCAR champions, be auctioned in support of our nationā€™s champions, our Armed Forces members,ā€ says Mark Hooper, Director of Marketing for New Holland in North America. ā€œNew Holland is honored to join with NASCAR in demonstrating our appreciation and support of our military and their families through the An American Salute program, and contributing to the outstanding work being done on behalf of our military through the Fisher House Foundation.ā€
