We're racing to combat the epidemic of Veteran suicide

…by promoting the free services of Racing For Heroes and The Rosie Network. Your backing helps us save lives. NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Colin Garrett is building the first NASCAR team dedicated to military community causes — putting veteran suicide prevention in the national spotlight every race weekend.

25% of active duty personnel are NASCAR fans, and 18% of NASCAR fans are veterans. That reach is a force multiplier for the nonprofits we champion.

"This is a force multiplier! Every $10 given to the crowdfunder is like giving $100 to the nonprofit because of the national exposure we get." — Mike Evock, Founder of Racing For Heroes

Every lap Colin Garrett turns on the Xfinity Series circuit carries a purpose far beyond the checkered flag. His racing platform shines a national spotlight on organizations that deliver free, life-changing services to veterans battling the invisible wounds of military service. By harnessing the energy of motorsports and the loyalty of its fans, the team connects retired and active-duty service members with critical mental health resources, entrepreneurial support, and community networks. The mission is urgent, the approach is direct, and the goal is simple: ensure that those who sacrificed for our freedom have somewhere to turn when the fight follows them home.

Behind the wheel and away from the track, this effort is built on family conviction. With both older brothers serving on active duty in the Army, the commitment to military communities is not abstract — it is woven into the fabric of the team. Fans, military spouses, and veteran-owned businesses join together as force multipliers, amplifying awareness through every race weekend. From Talladega to short tracks across the country, each appearance is a chance to promote healing, celebrate resilience, and remind every warrior that they are never alone in the battle to reclaim hope and purpose after service.
