“I always wanted to be a Marine. I came for two and stayed for 30. That’s what I tell people,” Siverson said.
Siverson is also a diehard NASCAR and Earnhardt fan.
To celebrate Siverson’s life of service, Goodyear offered him and his wife a free trip to the Daytona 500 and a ride aboard the blimp.

Siverson got a huge surprise when he found out Earnhardt was waiting on board.
Earnhardt also gave a $10,000 donation to NCServes.
