Mission of Armed Forces Racing

Armed Forces Racing is a membership-based organization dedicated to supporting the United States military by providing an on-and-off track presence at motorsports events throughout the country.  The goal through AFR is to unite all military branches with a “One Team, One Force” partnership within the motorsports industry.

Armed Forces Racing will provide physical, mental and moral support to our veterans and their families, while working to enhance the visibility of the military services and its corporate partners.  AFR will provide a venue that all service members, past, present and future, will rally around to improve morale within the active duty ranks, and strengthen the bond between the active, retired and military veteran communities.

Armed Forces Racing has developed and deployed a unique team, involving a highly-visible motorsports platform and fan experience.  AFR is preparing for racing in several circuits for the 2013 season to include teams in the NHRA, NASCAR, Lucas Oil Offroad, and AMA, and will be expanding its presence in NASCAR, Hydroplane boat racing and other forms of Motorsports that attract our audience.

Mission of Veterans' Hope

The more than two million men and women serving on active duty in our armed forces have repeatedly demonstrated their mettle and shown why America's military is truly the best trained, best led in the world. 

Our servicemen and women have been fighting the longest war since America first created its all-volunteer force and the third longest war in U.S. history.  The stress of our military is becoming more evident not only in the active duty ranks, but on the homefront and within the overall veteran communities as well.

Our mission is to help these veterans and their families.  Through the deployment of several motor coaches (known as Mobile Information Command Centers – MICCs), each equipped with a comprehensive database system, Veterans’ Hope will harness the efforts of thousands of charitable organizations, veteran-owned businesses, government contracting companies and other networking resources from across the country.

Veterans’ Hope will assure our veterans that they are still, and always will be, a valuable asset to this country and that the American people appreciate their sacrifices.  Our vision is to deliver the support the veterans need in a timely manner.

Veterans’ Hope, with the support of its charity and veteran owned business partners, will work to be the leader in veteran support and the largest grass-roots mobile outreach program in our Nation.
