[coverattach=1]Rich Bailey’s Capitol Auto Group Racing Team is partnering up with acclaimed actor Kevyn Major Howard to be a part of “Fueled By The Fallen”. Howard, who’s best known for his roll as “Rafterman” in the Warner Bros. film “Full Metal Jacket”, has developed a non-profit organization developed to both honor and pay tribute to the United States Service Members who lost their lives fighting for the freedom of others. The foundation also raises money for the families who have lost family members stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Thre organization is known nationally and includes J&B Motorsports which owns and operates a nitro funny car that displays every name of each Marine killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also, Howard himself owns a memorial race car which also contains all of the names of those who died and servers as the organization’s flagship car.
The Capitol team will give Fueled By The Fallen a presence in the Northwest and will run logos on the car and display the car at events that honor the military. “All of us owe gratitude to the men and women in the armed forces that have sometimes paid the ultimate price for our freedom. This is just one way to pay tribute to them” Bailey said.
