Furniture Row Commemorates NDP
April 23, 2007
NEXTEL CUP Driver Kenny Wallace is scheduled to drive the National Day of
Prayer car #78 sponsored by Furniture Row for the NASCAR NEXTEL CUP race at
Talladega Superspeedway this weekend.
The 56th Annual National Day of Prayer will take place Thursday, May 3,
2007. The theme for this year is "America, Unite in Prayer"
The National Day of Prayer tradition predates the founding of the United
States of America when the Continental Congress issued a proclamation
setting aside a day of prayer in 1775. In 1952, Congress established an
annual day of prayer and, in 1988, that law was amended, designating the
National Day of Prayer as the first Thursday in May. For more information

In commemoration of the day, the #78 Furniture Row Chevy Monte Carlo will
once again feature a red, white and blue paint scheme, created by Sam Bass
Design. This design showcases the National Day of Prayer logo predominately
displayed on the hood, side and back of the car. The car will take to the
track at Talladega Superspeedway on April 29, 2007 for the NASCAR Aaron's
499 Cup.
Fans and enthusiasts alike overloaded the National Day of Prayer website, in
2006, with thousands of emails of support when the car debuted last year at
Talladega.
