The goal of our race team is to use a race car as an educational tool to educate youth and the public about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and impaired driving.

In 2005, our race team became involved with RAD (Race Against Drugs). RAD provides us educational materials that we use at our booths.

When youth visit our booth or race team, they can sign the RAD Drug Free Pledge and receive a Stay on Track activity book as well as other educational materials provided by MADD and the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety.

In 2009 the team was involved in 21 educational activities and had over 3,500 youth sign the Race Against Drugs Pledge. We are looking forward to many activities in 2010 as we work to educate youth. We also hope to add our own Cooper Racing poster which will be available at our activities during the 2010 season.

Sponsors—Subway, McDonalds and Brenda Henning, as well as Cooper Racing—provide coupons, key chains and Ford Racing Posters that kids can win at our spinning wheel.

Delmar Friesen, owner of Junction Motor Speedway, has also provided us with race tickets that visitors at our booth may register to win.

If you have an interest in having Cooper Racing provide a Race Against Drugs message for your group, contact us for details.
