NASCAR Team Honors America's 9-1-1 Professionals
On Sunday March 2, Team Penske’s No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion carried a "Friends of 9-1-1" decal during "The Profit on CNBC 500, Presented by Small Business Fueling America," at Phoenix International Raceway. A group of 9-1-1 professionals got the chance to tour the Team Penske pit and met the car’s talented driver, Joey Logano, who finished the race 4th after leading the pack for 71 laps.
Check out pictures from the race on the Friends of 9-1-1 Facebook page.
Before the race, Logano commented, "I’m honored to feature the Friends of 9-1-1 program on my car during the race. 9-1-1 professionals help keep Americans safe every day, and I hope folks in the stands and watching at home will be inspired to join me in saying ‘thank you’ to these unsung heroes of emergency response."
