The First and Second Ladies were at the Homestead Miami-Speedway on Sunday to honor military families and draw support for their Joint Forces program, an initiative to get jobs for veterans.

The pair had received a warmer welcome at a pre-race meeting, where drivers gave them a standing ovation, The Associated Press reported.
The First Lady hailed NASCAR for being “amazing in terms of its support, not just today but every day, for military families."
