Updated 5-26-09, 7:31 AM ET: In the photo, ARCA RE/MAX Series car owner Wayne Peterson is eye-to-eye with retired Marine Gunnery Sgt. R Lee Ermey, who gained fame with his roles in many movies including "Full Metal Jacket", "Apocalypse Now" and "Saving Silverman". The two military men also share a great deal of common ground. Peterson is a veteran of the Korean War and Vietnam. He was not drafted; he voluntarily enlisted. He is one of many US veterans who are ARCA members. To all the men and women who have served our country - some of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice - this one's for you. We'd also like to encourage everyone to pause this weekend in honor/remembrance/respect for all the American soldiers who suffered and died for their country so that we may live in freedom. On behalf of ARCA, we are eternally grateful. Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.

Weaver, with the brand-new no. 13 Phantom Chevrolet Colorado race truck as his wicked backdrop, spoke about the importance of making the right choices, staying away from drugs and associating with the right people.
