US DOT / NHTSA 2004 NATIONAL DATA:
- In 2004, 16,694 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related car crashes
- Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive
when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if
they simply wore their seat belts.
- Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the
demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when
impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
WHO: Fans and the Community
WHAT: MI OHSP, NASCAR, MIS, AAA, Roush Racing, TEAM, RADD and NHTSA invite fans to tape their own
RHIR traffic safety messages at the NASCAR Nextel Cup GFS Marketplace 400 at Michigan International Speedway.

messages may be selected to be included in a broadcast traffic safety message, public
service announcement and/or vignette. Local media may be invited to participate and support. By participating
and committing to always Buckling Up, fans will be entered to win a VIP package, including two (2) tickets to
the final NASCAR race of the season this year at Homestead (generously donated by AAA), along with two (2)
tickets to a 2007 NASCAR race at MIS and much more!!
