NASCAR did some cool things at last night's rain-shortened Coke 600.

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_oXlLLI_eE

During the rain delay, they showed a video about the Gold Star family of Maj. Thomas E. Kennedy, U.S. Army, whose name was on the car of eventual race winner Christopher Bell.

Brad Keselowski, whose sponsor is https://buildsubmarines.com, also talked about the fallen WW2 submarine commander whose name was on his car. He was Cdr. Howard Gilmore, skipper of the USS Growler.


Here is list of all the names and backgrounds of those fallen whose names appeared on the race cars last night.


It's never been free.

Shannon Spake, who anchors the NASCAR broadcasts with Larry McReynolds and Jamie McMurray from the Charlotte studio, also revealed last night her father flew F-4 Phantoms during the Vietnam War.

Some pretty cool stuff last night.
