Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the mission of Our American Dream Team?

  We're racing to combat the epidemic of veteran suicide by promoting the free, life-saving services of Racing For Heroes and The Rosie Network. NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Colin Garrett founded this initiative to put military community causes at the center of a competitive race team.

• How does the crowdfunding campaign work?

  Supporters can contribute through our Fundrazr campaign to help build a NASCAR Xfinity team that stays true to the scrappy roots of the sport. Every contribution directly supports the team's ability to race and spread awareness of veteran suicide prevention resources.

• Who is Racing For Heroes?

  Racing For Heroes, founded by retired Special Forces Chief Warrant Officer Three Mike Evock, provides free programs to veterans struggling with PTSD and suicidal thoughts. Their services are available at no cost to those who have served.

• What is The Rosie Network?

  The Rosie Network is a nonprofit that supports military families and veteran entrepreneurs. Alongside Racing For Heroes, they are a key partner in the team's mission to connect veterans and their families with free resources.

• How do my donations help save lives?

  Your support funds the race team's operations, which in turn generates national exposure for Racing For Heroes and The Rosie Network. More visibility means more veterans and military families learn about — and access — free, potentially life-saving services.

• Is Colin Garrett's family connected to the military?

  Yes. Colin Garrett's family is a 2x Blue Star family; both of his older brothers are active duty in the U.S. Army. This personal connection drives the team's commitment to the military community.

• How can I request an autographed hero card?

  Send a self-addressed stamped envelope to PO Box 1231, South Boston, VA 24592. Please note that inaugural season hero cards were available to crowdfunding backers prior to the Daytona race.
