To promote the important messages of pedestrian and bike safety throughout the Sunshine State, the Florida Department of Transportation will serve as the title sponsor of the prestigious season-opening NASCAR XFINITY Series race on Saturday, Feb. 21 at Daytona International Speedway. The 120-lap, 300-mile race will be known as the Alert Today Florida 300. The partnership will increase the visibility of the safety campaign – Alert Today Alive Tomorrow – which is designed to raise public awareness of pedestrian and bicycle safety in the state of Florida. In addition to the entitlement, FDOT is partnering with Florida native Scott Lagasse Jr., who will drive the #33 Alert Today Alive Tomorrow Boy Scouts of America car in the event.(DIS)(11-15-2014)
