343rd Wolfpack runs with Greenwood NASCAR star Published July 15, 2008 By Staff Sgt. David J. McCarrison 343rd Recruiting Squadron OFFUTT AFB, Neb. -- Carl Edwards is one of many drivers on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit, but when the driver of No. 99 Office Depot car stops in Greenwood, Neb., he holds rock star status. Greenwood is home to I-80 Speedway, located 40 miles west of Omaha. I-80 Speedway is also Mr. Edward's home track, so when he scheduled an appearance July 12, the 343rd Recruiting Squadron "Wolfpack" raced to join the event. Arriving with the Air Force Suburban, the Wolfpack secured a prime location inside the gates to greet race fans upon their arrival. The Offutt Air Force Base Honor Guard started the night by posting the colors with Staff Sgt. Clint Whitney of the Heartland of America Band singing the National Anthem. The 55th Wing at Offutt also contributed to the race with a low fly-by with an RC-135. Mr. Edwards showed his appreciation for the Air Force by signing autographs and posing for photos with 343rd RCS members in his pit area. Overall the event proved successful for the Wolfpack, promoting the Air Force mission and its many job opportunities to Greenwood's NASCAR fans.
