Austin Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet will pay tribute to veterans as the driver unveiled his “Dow Salutes Veterans” paint scheme on Thursday at Dow Diamond in Midland, Michigan ahead of Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 (2 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The paint scheme features the names of more than 1,300 employees and contractors from Dow, Richard Childress Racing and the USA luge team, who happen to be veterans, as well as the immediate family members of employees and contractors who have served or are currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Dow has been a sponsor for Dillon since he began his full-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series career in 2014. The company and RCR have been collaborating for the past four years in appreciation of the service of veterans serving in the U.S. military brances. This initiative has been coordinated in partnership with Dow’s veterans employee resource group, VetNet.
NASCAR is honoring U.S. military servicemembers through the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona this summer through the NASCAR Salutes Refreshed by Coca-Cola program.
