One of the most patriotic sports in the country, NASCAR has always gone above and beyond to show its support for the U.S. Military.
Before making their way to Dover, Del. for this weekend's race, a few of NASCAR's biggest stars stopped by Walter Reed Army Medical Center to visit with soldiers recovering from injuries sustained in duty.
Had a good day @WRBethesda. Really makes you appreciate the sacrifices our military & their family members make for our country.
