Crown Royal Needs Your Help For The Your Hero’s Name Here Program
I have been lucky enough to be part of the Crown Royal Your Hero’s Name Here program. Crown Royal, NASCAR and The Brickyard 400 team up to support those who make this country great. Crown Royal just released the nominations for the 2016 Brickyard 400 race. The past winners are very deserving and humbled by the honor. I am so glad to see their story told.
Concluding a weeklong celebration of heroes, individuals across the country were recognized as inaugural nominees for the program. Each individual was given access to a special experience – receiving tickets to award shows, professional football games and the upcoming Phoenix NASCAR race.
Here are some of nominees:
US Army Veteran and Olympic Bobsledder Dallas Robinson, nominated by country music singer Justin Moore. Moore invited Robinson and his wife Chelsea to Nashville for one of country music’s biggest weeks, during which they went to the big show and attended VIP parties alongside artists.
In Dallas, TX two local heroes, Army Veterans Trista Hopkins-Neal and Phil Robertson, received tickets to last Sunday’s Dallas game, delivered by US Air Force Veteran and former Cowboy Chad Hennings
In Phoenix, Packages From Home nominated a group of active duty Air Force officers from Luke Air Force Base and presented them with tickets to this weekend’s NASCAR race
Last night in honor of Veteran’s Day, veterans and their families were treated to unforgettable performances by some of country music’s biggest stars including Justin Moore, Little Big Town and The Band Perry at CBS Radio’s first ever Stars and Strings concert. Before the concert kicked off, guests had the chance to submit nominations.
To nominate a hero, adults 21+ can visit CrownRoyalHeroes.com and submit their heroes for consideration from now until February 28, 2016. After, five finalists will be chosen and adult consumers will be able to vote for the hero they think is most deserving of the honor where one individual will see their name in lights at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Tiki Barber Knows How To Relax After Running The NYC Marathon
Lot of people load up on carbs the night before a marathon, but what do people do after they have run one? Some might rest. Some might get a massage. Others might celebrate with a pint! Well at least one runner did. Former professional football player Tiki Barber celebrated finishing the New York City with a flight to Dublin and pour a perfect pint of Guinness.
Days after beating last year’s finishing time for the New York City Marathon, Barber traded in his running shoes for a pint glass during a visit to St. James’s Gate which is the Guinness brewery in Dublin, Ireland.
While there, Barber tried the newest beer from the brewery, Guinness Nitro IPA, and received a tour of the Guinness brewery and a one-on-one session with the brewery team to learn how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness.
Not a bad way of celebrating if you ask me.

Be First To Play The Battle Of Jakku In Star Wars Battlefront
I can’t wait for the Star Wars Battlefront game to come out in two weeks. I played the BETA version last month and it was fantastic. It harkens back to the old Battlefront games. For those who haven’t heard about this game you can take part in epic Star Wars battles. You can feel the thud of an AT-AT stomping down on the frozen tundra of Hoth. Rebel forces firing blasters as Imperial speeder bikes zip through the lush forests of Endor. Intense dogfights between squadrons of X-wings and TIE fighters filling the skies.
Now you can be among the first players to experience the Battle of Jakku, the pivotal moment when the New Republic confronted key Imperial holdouts on a remote desert planet. Taking place in the aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor, players will experience the events that created the massive, battle-scarred landscape of Jakku shown in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Star Wars Battlefront is available November 17th on PS4, PC and Xbox One.
Check out the latest trailer for the game.
