NASCAR partners with Vet the Vote to recruit vets as election workers

As cars raced around the track at the NASCAR Cup Series in Michigan last weekend, members of the Vet the Vote campaign deployed out among race fans and registered veterans and their family members to volunteer as poll workers in November’s election.

The race was the first in which NASCAR partnered with Vet the Vote, a campaign run by the non-profit group We the Veterans, which recruits military-connected individuals to work at election sites.

As of Monday, the group had recruited more than 140,000 veterans and their family members to work the polls later this year.

NASCAR and Vet the Vote announced their partnership Saturday ahead of the Cup Series race. In partnering with Vet the Vote, NASCAR is joining other large brands that already support the campaign, including the National Football League, Microsoft and Walmart.
