Touting nine top-five finishes and six victories this year, driver Jerick Johnson brings The American Legion/David Law Firm 76 Freedom Car to Lucas Oil Raceway Indianapolis Saturday and Sunday for the Champion Racing Association Fall Brawl.

The American Legion name and emblem has adorned the 76 Freedom Car at tracks across the country since 2005.
"What a great opportunity for us and The American Legion," Johnson said. "We get to race and at the same time raise awareness to our fellow Americans about what The American Legion stands for, the important veteran programs they support, and to help recruit the next generation of the American Legion family members."

"It is important to note that The American Legion does not provide direct financial support to the 76 Freedom Car," Johnson said.

Our association with The American Legion helps provide us the opportunity to race and to also promote The American Legion family and its programs. It is a win-win partnership."
