Green Smoke® announced today that it will return as primary sponsor of T.J. Bell’s No. 32 Ford Fusion fielded by FAS Lane Racing in Sunday night’s AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. In addition, as the anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Green Smoke® is honoring the sacrifices of our nation’s uniformed men and women by donating the 32 car’s quarter panels and TV panel to the Travis Manion Foundation, an organization that assists our nation’s veterans and the families of fallen heroes.

Green Smoke® will support the Travis Manion Foundation by advertising its 9/11 Heroes Run on Bell’s quarter panels. The 9/11 Heroes Run is a national race series held annually on the weekend closest to September 11th. Proceeds from the run directly support and address the issues affecting the veteran community and also provide financial support to local veteran and first responder 501 (c) 3 charities. The 9/11 Heroes Run strives to honor the fallen and challenge people to take part in an event that recognizes the service and sacrifice of so many that serve our country every day.

It encourages everyone to donate $10 to the organization by texting “Heroes” to 27722.

“It’s an honor to help special causes like the Travis Manion Foundation,” Bell said. “Especially with the anniversary of 9/11 coming up, it’s important to remember all that our service men and women contribute. I hope that everyone takes the time to thank them for all their sacrifices and dedication. We’re excited to promote the 9/11 Heroes Run and hope that everyone can contribute to the cause.”

Green Smoke® is a proud advocate of the HERO Organization and the 32 million Americans that put on a uniform every day to serve and protect us. It supports and assists the non-profit organizations that help firefighters, police officers, EMT’s and members of the armed services, including their families, in their time of greatest need by providing products, services and money. The HERO organization is bringing four guests from the Travis Manion Foundation to be hosted by Green Smoke® at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday.

“This is a very special opportunity for us,” said James Brobyn, executive director of the Travis Manion Foundation. “Green Smoke®, The HERO Organization and FAS Lane Racing have all been very gracious and we appreciate all of the support they’ve given the Travis Manion Foundation. We’re looking forward to going to the track and seeing a race up close.”

“I’m very excited about this weekend,” Bell said. “Atlanta’s a fun track. I’ve always enjoyed going there. The speeds are crazy and it makes for some exciting racing. On top of that, we have some special guests coming from the Travis Manion Foundation. It’s always an inspiration to meet the men and women who bravely serve our country, which has me really looking forward to Sunday.”

The AdvoCare 500 will mark Bell’s first Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Bell has one Nationwide Series start at the 1.5-mile race track. He started 29th and finished 27th. In Camping World Truck Series competition, Bell has four starts. His best finish is ninth place, which he achieved in 2008.
