The Brickyard 400 Sprint Cup race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday will include Regan Smith's Furniture Row Racing Chevy, the number 78 Farm American Chevy that depicts farm life on the hood along with the program theme on the rear panel, "Cultivating the Future." The paint scheme and program are meant to promote the importance of U.S. ag, which employs more than 22 million people in America. Team Owner and CEO of Furniture Row Companies Barney Visser says the number of job losses in the furniture industry has been devastating and the same trends are occurring in the nation's food supply making it something worth fighting for.
Visser says he doesn't want America to fall asleep on the issue. He believes in the free market system, but says the nation isn't free when asking farmers and ranchers to compete against foreign governments and potentially harmful standards putting U.S. families at risk.
The United Soybean Board is a sponsor of the Farm American car. USB Director Keith Dunn says by partnering with the Farm American car at the heart of the soybean belt, racing fans can be informed of the major role U.S. soy and other U.S. ag products play in helping provide U.S. families with a safe, sustainable and reliable supply of food.
