On Sunday in Charlotte NASCAR will once again pay tribute to those who have lost their lives serving our country as part of the #NASCARsalutes program. The 40 cars that run in the Coca-Cola 600 will honor those who lost their lives while defending out freedoms.

NASCAR does a lot for the United States military and on Sunday in Charlotte they will be showcasing a tribute that not many other sports can compare with. Sunday in the Coca-Cole 600 the drivers will each feature the name of a man or woman who lost their lives while fighting to defend the freedoms that allow NASCAR drivers to do what they love.
