SDMO National Awareness Campaign Kick-Off

TRAA press release:

Last month, Randy Meyer Racing kicked-off their Slow Down Move Over national awareness campaign at the Tennessee Tow Show by displaying the all new TRAA and INA Towing Network branded dragster. The racing debut of the TRAA and INA Towing Network branded dragster is scheduled for the 2025 NHRA GatorNationals in Gainesville, Florida from March 6-9 at the historic Gainesville Raceway.

Representatives from a variety of highway and public safety organizations attended the official press release during the Tennessee Tow Show including the Tennessee Highway Safety Office, Tennessee Highway Patrol, Chattanooga City Mayor’s Office, Chattanooga Fire Department, Chattanooga Police Department, and the Towing & Recovery Association of America, Inc. and INA Towing Network.

“For everyone’s safety, remember to stay alert, follow the law, make smart decisions,” said Sgt. Cecil Harvey, Tennessee Highway Patrol. “Moving over and slowing down only takes seconds, and it can save a life.”

“As a professional racer we train to always be aware of our surroundings. Sadly, first responders, emergency workers and tow truck operators continue to be struck while aiding motorists on the side of the road because a passing vehicle did not slow down and move over,” said Megan Meyer, a multi-time NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster World Champion. “We are working together with TRAA and INA Towing Network to promote state and federal Slow Down Move Over laws that were enacted to save lives. This will be an ongoing relationship that is much more than a logo on our race car.”

TRAA appreciates the engagement and support of the industry as we work together to advocate on this critical issue. We look forward to a future where every responder can go home to their friends and family at the end of the day.
