Ross Chastain Joins Nevada’s Safe Roads Campaign
Nevada’s Zero Fatalities Program has enlisted NASCAR Cup Series driver Ross Chastain to champion safe driving habits across the state. With a strong reputation among drivers, Chastain leverages his influence to highlight the dangers of impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, and the importance of seatbelt use. His involvement will culminate in an event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where he will meet fans, discuss his traffic safety advocacy, sign autographs, and distribute special hero cards.
Nevada Officials Highlight Shared Role in Roadway Safety
The Division Administrator of the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety, Amy Davey, emphasized the broad responsibility for keeping roadways safe.
“Traffic safety is a shared responsibility not just among drivers, but for all Nevadans. Creating safer roads starts with addressing selfish and unsafe driving behaviors that are causing the preventable loss of life on our roadways,”
—Amy Davey, Division Administrator of the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety
She reiterated the agency’s commitment to ending roadway fatalities and praised Chastain’s ongoing contributions nationwide.
“Our mission has always been to eliminate roadway fatalities in the state, and we are excited to partner with Ross Chastain, who shares our vision. His work across the country is a testament to his passion and commitment to traffic safety, and we are excited to have him join our efforts in making our roads safer for everyone.”

Chastain Urges Drivers to Make Safer Choices
Chastain, a well-known figure on the NASCAR circuit and a frequent advocate for traffic safety in multiple states, reinforced the message of keeping racing on the track and prioritizing safety behind the wheel.
“As a driver, I know how important it is to respect the rules of the road and always put safety first. Racing belongs on the track, not on our roadways. I’m proud to partner with Nevada’s Zero Fatalities Program to help remind everyone that simple choices, like buckling up, slowing down, and never driving impaired, can save lives. If even one person makes a safer decision after hearing this message, then we’ve made a difference.”
