Keep your eye on driver Austin Dillon’s No. 3 Dow Salutes Veterans Chevrolet during the
NASCAR Cup series race at Road America on Sunday.
You just might see your name on it.
More than 1,900 U.S. military veterans and active duty service members will “ride” with Dillon over the Fourth of July holiday as he competes in a patriotic Chevrolet featuring their names.

“The Dow Salutes Veterans paint scheme has become a staple of RCR’s relationship with Dow and one of my favorite programs of the year,” said Dillon. “These veterans and active-duty military are true heroes, and it really means a lot that Dow gives us the opportunity to recognize their service and dedication each year.”
The program began with 350 veterans in 2015 and has grown to 1,900 over the past six years.
Dow’s commitment to the service and skills that veterans bring to the workforce are also being highlighted with a nod to Dow’s Veterans Resource Group (VETNET) and Military Degree Equivalency (MDE) program, which provides an opportunity for individuals with extensive military background to bring their broad scope of training and education, experience in leadership, and understanding of performing in high-pressure situations into a successful career at Dow.

“The perspective that our veterans bring reflect the rich depth of experience and backgrounds that make Dow a world leader in science and technology, and it is tremendous to be able to honor their service and sacrifice through our partnership with RCR (Richard Childress Racing),” said Rich Wells, Dow vice president of operations, US Golf Coast.
This is the seventh consecutive year that Dow has partnered with RCR to honor the nation’s veterans. This year’s program also highlights Dow’s relationship with Team Rubicon, a veteran-led disaster response organization that has been instrumental within Dow.
