RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The State of Nevada is partnering with NASCAR driver Ross Chastain to promote safe driving initiatives.
Chastain will work with Nevada’s Zero Fatalities Program to raise awareness around issues like seatbelt safety, impaired driving, speeding and distracted driving.
The partnership will culminate in a meet and greet with Chastain at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Fan Zone prior to a race at South Point 400 on Oct. 12.
“Traffic safety is a shared responsibility not just among drivers, but for all Nevadans. Creating safer roads starts with addressing selfish and unsafe driving behaviors that are causing the preventable loss of life on our roadways,” said Division Administrator of the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety Amy Davey. “Our mission has always been to eliminate roadway fatalities in the state, and we are excited to partner with Ross Chastain, who shares our vision. His work across the country is a testament to his passion and commitment to traffic safety, and we are excited to have him join our efforts in making our roads safer for everyone.”
“As a driver, I know how important it is to respect the rules of the road and always put safety first. Racing belongs on the track, not on our roadways. I’m proud to partner with Nevada’s Zero Fatalities Program to help remind everyone that simple choices, like buckling up, slowing down, and never driving impaired, can save lives. If even one person makes a safer decision after hearing this message, then we’ve made a difference,” said Chastain.
