Last Saturday, May 19, The Band Perry, Crown Royal and Big Machine Records announced a new initiative to honor an everyday American hero through a program called ‘Your Hero’s Name Here.’ The country music trio visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to make the announcement and wave the green flags to signal the start of qualifying. This summer’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Brickyard will see sponsors Crown Royal name the race after the winner of their ‘Crown Your Hero’ contest.
The five finalists who were announced by The Band Perry and could have the famous race named after them, are: Dale Beatty, veteran and co-founder of the nonprofit organization Purple Heart Homes from Statesville, N.C.; Lindsey Marquez, ICU nurse from Sun Prairie, Wis.; Curtiss Shaver, Fire Lieutenant and EMT from Troy, Ala.; John Thomas, Deputy Sheriff from Sarasota, Fla.; and Brandon Veatch, veteran and Purple Heart recipient from Bloomfield, Ind. Beginning today, you can cast your vote via the Crown Royal Facebook page (Facebook.com/CrownRoyal) and click the “Crown Your Hero” tab to vote for the hero they think is most deserving of naming rights to the race. Voting runs through June 28th and the grand prize winner will be announced in early July.
