The Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is a national nonprofit organization that assists military veterans and currently serving members of the Armed Forces to transition into careers in farming. Since 2015, Kubota, based in Grapevine, Tex., has partnered with Dallas, Tex.-based FVC on the “Geared to Give” program which has provided more than $1 million to the coalition in the form of organizational support, grants to veterans and 46 pieces of donated equipment. Chastain’s top-10’s throughout the last two seasons have generated a total of $70,000 in donations.
In sharing the mission of the Farmer Veteran Coalition, mobilizing veterans to feed America, the organization writes this: “We cultivate a new generation of farmers and food leaders, and develop viable employment and meaningful careers through the collaboration of the farming and military communities. We believe that veterans possess the unique skills and character needed to strengthen rural communities and create sustainable food systems. We believe that agriculture offers purpose, opportunity, and physical and psychological benefits.”
Kubota will also continue as the Official Tractor Company of Trackhouse Racing as it has since 2022.
“It’s awesome to continue an authentic partnership with a world-renowned brand like Kubota,” said No. 1 Chevrolet driver Ross Chastain, an eighth-generation watermelon farmer. “Kubota’s support of Trackhouse Racing and agriculture means the world to me, and I hope to get them back to victory lane this year.”
In 2025, the Kubota livery will appear on Chastain’s Chevrolet six times including: Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Ariz.; Las Vegas Motor Speedway; Homestead-Miami (Fla.) Speedway; Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway; New Hampshire Motor Speedway; Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. Other drivers will race the Kubota paint scheme in Fort Worth, Tex., Watkins Glen, NY.
