It was said yesterday that Goodyear Tyres are backing the troops, and have donated a generous £13,500 to the personnel and the families of the troops but will benefit them.
The Goodyear Eagle tyres which are being produced will be a special edition tyre that will have a red, blue and white design and will also read ‘Support Our Troops’ on the side of the tyre.
Kris Kienzl one of Goodyears marketing manager has said “For well over 100 years, Goodyearhas been supplying and supporting the US military, and has been a part of NASCAR’s great history for more than 56 years. Now, we’re making this historic change to honour them both”.
“We are showing our support for the uniformed men and women who protect us and our families with a special message on the premier spot on our race tyres. This programme also waves the green flag on our fundraising and support campaign.”
