[upbeat music]

00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:24,560
(Ryan Newman) How are you guys doing?
[laughing]

00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,480
[upbeat music]

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,740
I've never seen some of those things
before. The big giant cannon, so to speak,

7
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:39,140
was really cool. Um, it takes seven people to
fire one gun, but parachutes side of it,

8
00:00:39,140 --> 00:00:45,770
I'd never been strapped up with a
parachute, or parachutes. I understand

9
00:00:45,770 --> 00:00:49,670
why they jump out of  the plane now: to get
that stuff off of them. It's heavy

10
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,480
and awkward, but you know, just in general,
but the class of all the soldiers I've

11
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,600
always said is second to none. 
The personalities, the character, all the,

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,940
all the good parts of being a human 
show up in the U.S. Army soldiers.

13
00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:04,760
[somber music]
[engine sound]

14
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:10,960
It's an honor for me to drive a race car that has a fallen
soldier's name on it, and to have Sergeant Nolen's

15
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:15,720
name on the windshield is
just a small part of what I'll have in

16
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,400
the form of an angel riding inside my
race car on, on race day.

17
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,520
(Rachel Nolen) It means the world to us to have, to 
be able to celebrate James's life and to be able to

18
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,920
honor him and for everybody 
to learn about James.

19
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,760
He loved being a soldier. That 
was what he wanted to do.

20
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:41,320
(Newman) Everybody in some form or fashion as a fan 
or a human is touched by somebody in the service.

21
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:45,840
It doesn't have to be the U.S. Army here at Fort 
Bragg. It could be any part of the military, and

22
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,600
somebody's got a happy story,
somebody's got a sad story, but they're

23
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:53,450
all stories and they all represent the
freedom that we have. And I think it's

24
00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:57,460
important that we all embrace that and no 
better family does that better than NASCAR.
