With support for Furniture Row's Farm American program growing, Regan Smith and the No. 78 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team will have the Farm American paint scheme back on board for the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend.

Furniture Row Racing launched their Farm American program at the Brickyard 400 in July and quickly gained the support of many within the American agriculture industry.

“Agriculture is the heart and soul; it is the ethics, moral and social values of this nation," said Dr. Alan Foutz, president, Colorado Farm Bureau. "People are four and five generations removed from the farm, and food for them is in the supermarket. Therefore they've lost connection with this important part of their daily life and where the food and fiber they depend on really comes from. That?s why I think it is particularly important the Farm American program exists. There is no doubt in my mind, after being part of the Farm American launch last month at Indianapolis, this program will succeed at reconnecting millions with America's farm families.”

The North American Equipment Dealer's Association endorses Furniture Row's Farm American No. 78 Chevrolet and the message it carries.

"The North American Equipment Dealers Association is proud to be partnered with Furniture Row Racing on the Farm American program," said Paul Kindinger, executive director of the North American Equipment Dealer's Association. "We see the potential to reach and engage millions of American consumers every week, and believe Farm American has what it takes to begin building a bridge with America?s consumers. NAEDA?s members and their employees are convinced Farm American will deliver a positive, well-deserved message about the real heroes of American agriculture.”

Barney Visser, team owner and executive officer of Furniture Row Companies, is outspoken on the issue of American farming.

“The number of job losses in the American furniture industry due to unfair competitive practices by international governments has been devastating,” said Visser in last month's news release announcing the Farm American program. “To see the same trends occurring in our food supply, leaving us subjected to possible interruptions and unequal standards is something we  see as worth fighting for.

“I don’t want America to fall asleep on this issue – this is where America needs to come together. I believe in the free market system, but we’re not free  when we ask our farmers and ranchers to compete against foreign governments and  potentially harmful standards that put us and our families at risk.”
