In addition to his charitable donation, Jim Sexton added Operation Helmet`s decal to the lower quarter panel and TV panel of Z-Line Designs` No.18 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing, which runs in the NASCAR Nationwide races.

"The brave men and women of our armed forces risk their lives for our freedom, and they deserve the best for their selfless dedication," said Jim Sexton, whose father in-law, Hugh Wild, served in the armed forces. "Our troops overseas put themselves in harms way each day, I`m honored to have the opportunity to help Operation Helmet provide equipment that promotes safety."


Operation Helmet raises funds to provide helmet pad upgrade kits designed to prevent traumatic head and brain injuries and provide protection, comfort and stability.  The organization has distributed over 45,000 helmet upgrade kits to U.S. military personnel since 2004.
