THE SAFER RACER ORGANIZATION
The Safer Racer Tour™, created in 2007, is a non-profit organization that was designed to help reach out to the auto racers many feel are most at risk; the numerous short track drivers around the country.
Founder Randy LaJoie has been an activist in much of the safety R&D that NASCAR has conducted over recent years and would like to see these innovations transcend beyond the Top 3 NASCAR series. Made possible by “tour sponsors”, LaJoie has created a mobile interactive unit to short tracks across America to help bring safety innovations to all levels of racing.
​
“I’d say 99.7% of short track drivers don’t pay enough attention to safety. Honestly, I didn’t pay as much attention to safety as I should have until we lost Dale Earnhardt. It’s too bad it took his passing, as well as five or six others in the top NASCAR levels, but we now realize we don’t want any more injuries or deaths in racecars."
– Randy LaJoie
Randy LaJoie is determined to reach local racers all over the country. Since starting the program, he has been crisscrossing the country, as well as a visit to Canada, in a passionate effort to get the safety information and product innovations out to the racers most at risk.
