Nascar drive Jamie McMurray understands that driving in risky situations can increase the risk for injury and damage to one’s vehicle since he drives more than 150 mph at work. He is hopeful that owners of used cars in New York will take advantage of a program to limit drunk driving and keep motorists safe.

That’s why he will be strapping into a Ford Fusion that looks a lot like his raceday vehicle and provide free rides home in Indianapolis to fans and others who may be too intoxicated to drive themselves during race weekend.

“Racing in Indy is always special, but participating in the Safe Rides Home program the last few years really allows me to interact one-on-one with some of the most passionate race fans in the world,” said McMuray. “Once [passengers] realize I’m a cautious driver, we usually start chatting and before we know it, have arrived at their home and they are thanking me … for the safe ride.”

Similar efforts are available nationwide, and allow drivers who may feel they are unable to operate a vehicle to get a ride home without the hassle of finding a taxi service during busy Friday and Saturday nights.
