The Classic will benefit six nonprofits: Blue Star Families, Camp Southern Ground, DAV (Disabled American Veterans), Team Rubicon, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) and The Travis Manion Foundation.

The first-of-its-kind motorsports-palooza at Daytona unites racing, music, charity and service in honor of the nation’s military community. But like an Army-Navy game, competition is at its heart — pitting Ford’s finest drivers representing each military service.

The driver teams:

U.S. Army: NASCAR Cup Series’ driver Brad Keselowski and sports car expert Joey Hand. The car’s livery is inspired by the Abrams tank.

U.S. Marine Corps: Ryan Blaney, NASCAR Cup Series, and Ben Hobson, RTR Drift Team driver. Livery: inspired by the Assault Amphibious Vehicle.
