Whelen Engineering, a global leader in the emergency warning industry; Richard Childress Racing (RCR); and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) have joined forces for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Race at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, on September 9, 2023. RCR’s No. 2 Whelen Chevrolet, driven by Sheldon Creed, will debut a special paint scheme in tribute to the 144 firefighters honored at the 2023 National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend.
We are grateful that Whelen's No. 2 Chevrolet will carry the names of the 144 fallen firefighters who died in the line of duty serving their local communities. The same 144 names were inscribed at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial this past May. It means so much to our Fire Hero Families, and it's a true demonstration of Whelen's partnership with the mission of the NFFF: honoring our fallen heroes and supporting their families.
The race begins at 3:00 pm ET from the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, and can be watched on NBC.
