As a generous show of support for the Joe Foss Institute, Richard Childress (President and CEO of Richard Childress Racing, in photo above, on left, with Didi Foss and H. Dean Hall) agreed to promote the work of the Institute by placing JFI's new logo on his team's racecars for the NASCAR races at Texas Motor Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway. At a press conference held before the Texas races, Mr. Childress unveiled the new JFI logo to the general public for the first time.
In the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas, three of the four RCR drivers--Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, and Jeff Burton--all finished in the top 10, a great day for Richard Childress Racing and for the Joe Foss Institute.
We are honored to be associated with Richard Childress racing, and are incredibly grateful for the support of Mr. Childress and the entire RCR team.

The Joe Foss Institute introduced a new logo as part of a concerted effort to update the Institute's brand, and to raise awareness about its work. A new Web site is set to be launched in late 2009.
The new mark features an arrow (formed by white space between two ribbons) that points to a star, symbolizing our mission to teach patriotism, service and American values to the youth of our nation.
In addition, the mark will be a lasting tribute to Joe Foss, as its design hints at the Congressional Medal of Honor he received for his heroic exploits as a fighter pilot at Guadalcanal in World War II.
