Nov 02, 2009 (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 Code(SM), 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.
WHEN: Thursday, November 5, 2009
