Swan Racing will honor
the victims of the Boston Marathon with a special "Prayers for
Boston" paint scheme in this weekend's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at
Kansas Speedway.
"The tragedy at the
Boston Marathon is shared by all Americans," said Swan Racing owner
Brandon Davis. "Swan Racing and the NASCAR community offer its support to
the Boston community, the victims and all those affected by the senseless act
of terror."
Davis' wife Tara, a
Boston native, said, "Boston is a strong, united community and will not be
intimidated. I am pleased that we are able to use our race team to support my
hometown with a 'Prayers for Boston' message."
Driver of the No. 30
"Prayers for Boston" Toyota, David Stremme, said, "The NASCAR
community rallies together in times of need. Hopefully, we can help add a
little comfort with our message of 'Prayers for Boston' on the car."
Earlier this year Swan Racing honored the victims of the Newtown
tragedy with a special paint scheme and by changing the car number from 30 to
26 in honor of the 26 victims at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
