PPF Ambassador advocacy also promotes a public platform for Veterans to be engaged in challenging pursuits, components of PPF program traditions, highly valued by participants.

TEAM EFFORT

Jesse stated that, "As a Veteran and blazing this new trail in the NASCAR ranks it wouldn't be right of me to do this if I wasn't supporting my fellow Veterans.  Teaming up with the Phoenix Patriot Foundation allows us to give back to those who truly matter.  It shows our troops, those currently serving, and honors those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice; that we can live our lives, pursue our personal dreams and passions while enjoying our freedom to do so, freedom that our veterans sacrificed to preserve."

DETERMINED

Jesse's determination is a perfect fit for life on the track which strongly mirrors four important demands required from each of us when we strive to give our very best; Preparation, Endurance, Teamwork and Effort. Jesse exemplifies PPF values representing service in action.
