No. 36 Driver Unveils Special Paint Scheme as Part of NASCAR's "600 Miles of Remembrance"

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (May 17, 2019) - Matt Tifft's No. 36 Surface Sunscreen/Tunity TV Ford will pay tribute to Carrollton, Virginia native U.S. Army Special Forces Sgt. 1st Class Joshua "Zach" Beale this Memorial Day weekend. SFC Beale was killed on January 22, 2019 in Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, while conducting combat operations. He was assigned to 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

SFC Beale had more than seven years of service in the Army. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Old Dominion University in 2008 and enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2011. He attended Basic Training in Fort Benning, Georgia, where he graduated from the U.S. Army Airborne School. Beale graduated in 2018 from the Special Forces Qualification Course and was subsequently assigned to 3rd SFG (A).
 
Beale was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, and the Meritorious Service Medal. He was posthumously promoted to Sgt. 1st Class.
 
Tifft's No. 36 Ford will display Beale's name across the windshield for the "Coca-Cola 600" on May 26. His car will also feature a star-spangled paint scheme in honor of Memorial Day and NASCAR's "600 Miles of Remembrance" tribute, where each car entered in the race will recognize a fallen U.S. soldier.
 
"It's really an honor to represent SFC Beale on my car for the Coca-Cola 600," said Tifft. "Participating in this tribute makes you take a step back to not only appreciate the sacrifices that these people have made for their country, but how fortunate we are to have such brave men and women fighting for our freedom every day."
 
The No. 36 patriotic paint scheme will take to the track on Thursday, May 23 for practice and qualifying. The "Coca-Cola 600" Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race will air Sunday, May 26 at 6:00 p.m. on FOX.

Former 49er Student to Help Raise Awareness for UNC Charlotte Victims
 
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (May 15, 2019) - Matt Tiftt, a former student of the business school at UNC Charlotte, will help raise awareness for the Niner Nation Unites campaign to benefit the victims killed and injured during the recent shooting on the campus. Tifft will race the UNC Charlotte Strong decal on the sides of his No. 36 Surface/Tunity Ford Mustang, but more importantly, will be posting links and reminders on his social media channels encouraging fans across the country to visit and donate to the UNC Charlotte crowd fund page, Niner Nation Unites, that drives monies to the Ellis Reed Parlier and Riley Howell scholarship funds and to those injured in their recovery.

Tifft will race the decal during this weekend's All-Star activities at the Charlotte Motor Speedway as he attempts to make his first Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star event. Tifft felt that the NASCAR All-Star weekend was the perfect platform to ask people to visit the site and make a donation.
 
"I think this weekend, we have a lot of fans tune into NASCAR for our All-Star activities, and since we're just minutes from the UNC Charlotte campus, it's the best time for me to talk about the Niner Nation Unites crowd fund page that gives 100 percent of its proceeds to the victims still recovering and to the scholarship funds of Ellis Reed Parlier and Riley Howell. As a racing community, we can make a real difference."
"It was a sad day for the University, and personally, I'm still feeling for those affected and the campus," added Tifft. "I think we can not only run the Charlotte Strong decal, but the real impact is logging onto the site and making a small donation. I have and will continue to do so."

Tifft encourages fans to visit https://crowdfund.uncc.edu/ to make a contribution, no matter how small. Fans can choose to make a donation to scholarship funds in memory of Parlier and Reed or to the funds for those injured and recovering including Drew Pescaro, Sean DeHart, Rami Al-Ramadhan and Emily Houpt.
Tifft will race in Saturday's Monster Energy Open that is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. ET and to be broadcast live on Fox Sports 1 and the Performance Racing Network.
