NASCAR Ryan Newman Safe Driving Tips
When he’s rounding the track at speeds approaching 200
miles per hour, the last thing Ryan Newman wants is for something to
wrong. Safety is his number one concern every time he races in NASCAR’s
elite series.
“And it should be yours too,” says Newman “While drivers on the
morning commute don’t have 775 horsepower engines under their hoods, and
aren’t drafting in a pack of 20 or more cars, unexpected events can have
dire consequences.”  Over the years, Newman has been in more crashes than
he cares to remember.
He walked away from most of them without a scratch,
but because he knows what can go wrong, with the backing of the Alltel
Wireless Racing Team, he’s on a mission to spread the word about the
importance of safe driving.
“On the track, it is my job to know every detail about
the drivers around me, as well as the ins-and-outs of the track on each
particular weekend.
It is no less important for everyday drivers to be
aware of what’s happening around them as they drive to work or transport
their families to dinner,” he says.
When people ask him how to stay safe
on the road, Newman offers the following advice:
- Bring a wireless phone with you so you can call for help in case
you run into trouble.
- Be sure it’s equipped with a hands-free device if you plan to
use it while driving.
- Always buckle up no matter how far you’re traveling.
- Don’t leave home without an emergency kit with you in case you
run into trouble.
- Always carry a spare tire, a jack and a set of jumper cables in
your trunk.
“The message Alltel Wireless and I hope to get across is simple --
we share a concern for your safety on the road and we hope that the
next time you sit behind the wheel, you’ll make sure you have all
your bases covered.
- Safety is your most important call,” says Newman.
