Meyer Motorsports Safety Experts to

To demonstrate the series' commitment to driver safety even more clearly, the truck series has announced an agreement with safety equipment specialists Meyer Motorsports Driver Safety & Equipment. Meyer Motorsports Driver Safety Equipment & More has joined the family of ShortTrackTrucks.com Challenge Series associate sponsors to enable drivers within the series to increase their level of safety on the track. The relationship will benefit drivers and teams in the series by providing them with both expertise in the safety field and a discount off racer pricing across the entire Meyer Motorsports product line.

"short track racers of all types can benefit from the growing
amount of data and experience in the racing safety market. Whether
you race for a living or work a day job just to allow you to
compete, driver safety products help protect you - and your livelihood
- in the event of a mishap. The joining of Meyer Motorsports
Driver Safety Equipment with our truck series provides our racers
with the experience and products they need to ensure their Safety
on the track." Meyer Motorsports Equipment became interested in joining forces with ShortTrackTrucks.com Challenge Series last year. Seeing the need to develop a driver's awareness of safety equipment in order to both keep the driver safer as well as make the drivers more comfortable. Safer and more comfortable translates to both driving faster and racing safer! According to Jon Meyer, "we agreed that it would mutually benefit the series as well as the drivers to have safety equipment available to all drivers as well as the expertise of our safety equipment specialists - both trackside and by contact with our corporate offices and we have now become part of the ShortTrackTrucks.com Challenge Series Family!" The relationship has already begun to bear fruit for drivers, series and sponsor alike after a very well attended safety seminar was given by Meyer. The feedback from the drivers and teams present was very positive. Driver's commented that by watching the presentation with both product demonstrations and video of actual racing crash simulations, they realize safety while racing is very important and now have a better understanding of how a simple crash can be a life threatening event. Proper driver compartment safety equipment being installed in their race trucks will help minimize those risks. "It is not just 1 piece of safety equipment that can save a life or keep injury from occurring, it is the full spectrum of multiple pieces of safety gear used together that keeps a driver safe during a crash" Jon Meyer told our drivers at our Safety Seminar. Jon Meyer also showed video footage at the meeting showing crash testing and race data of short track crashes demonstrating the need for proper safety equipment in the cockpit. Said Meyer, "Our goal is to serve the racing community with a full spectrum of safety related products from multiple safety product developers/vendors and help them race faster and race safer!"
