LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kentucky Speedway ? NASCAR driver Angela Ruch and The Wounded Blue, America's only national organization dedicated to assisting officers injured in the line of duty, announced today they will partner on a #BackTheBlue themed car for this weekend's NASCAR Gander Outdoor truck series race at the Kentucky Speedway.
