UPS NASCAR Driver David Ragan Joins Local Teens to Promote Safe Driving Program
--(Business Wire)--
UPS (NYSE: UPS):
WHAT: UPS and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas will unveil a special paint scheme for NASCAR driver David Ragan`s UPS No. 6 Ford Fusion to promote UPS Road CodeSM, a comprehensive teen safe driving course that incorporates UPS`s world-class safe-driving methods, including the latest interactive tools originally developed to train UPS`s newest generation of drivers.
UPS and Boys & Girls Clubs of America have joined forces to prevent the leading cause of adolescent deaths in America by teaching teens to drive more safely. The UPS Foundation has given $1.5 million to this cause and is supplying driving experts to serve as volunteer instructors.
You are invited to Texas Motor Speedway for the unveiling of the special paint scheme and to hear from Ragan, who will talk to 50 local teens about the importance of safe driving. One of the components of UPS Road Code is a computerized safe-driving simulator that teens use to test what they have learned during the course. Ragan will test his own skills behind the wheel of the simulator at the event - just days before hitting the track for the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.
