Crown Royal Presents the “John Wayne Walding ‘400’” at the brickyard powered by the BigMachineRecords.com

Have you heard is the name of the one NASCAR race to be held at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway this 2014 will be the Crown Royal Presents the “John Wayne Walding ‘400’ ” at the Brickyard powered by the BigMachineRecords.com?

NASCAR Race Mom was thrilled to see ZZTop perform the opening act of the CMT Awards Show last night. However, honestly NRM was eagerly awaiting for the Crown Royal announcement of this year’s winner of the “Your Name Here” program.

2014 Winner ---- John Wayne Walding, 32, of Little Elm, Texas, served in the United States Army for 12 years with seven of those years being in the 3rd Special Forces Group, completing tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. While overseas in 2008, Walding was involved in a fire fight during a mission to capture a high value target, during which he lost his lower right leg. After recovering from his injury, Walding was the first amputee to graduate Special Forces school. He completed the 2009 Boston Marathon and Army 10 miler, utilizing a hand cycle, within a year of the accident.

Some of Walding’s awards and badges include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Combat Infantry Badge.

Walding was honored to be nominated by his brother, as he considers it humbling validation each time someone hears about what he’s done for his country. One of Walding’s missions in life is to pass his torch on to the person behind him in an effort to help his fellow service men and women in the form of guidance. He helps former military members by employing them or providing direction to find their “North Star”, what Walding describes as their meaning in life after active duty service.

A big NASCAR fan, Walding has never had the opportunity to go to a race and looks forward to attending the “Your Hero’s Name Here” 400 in July.
