The Randy Meyer Racing Team will hold a press conference to promote Slow Down Move Over (SDMO) laws on Friday, September 27th at 2 p.m. in the Chattanooga Convention Center exhibit hall during the Tennessee Tow Show. The press conference, led by champion drag racer Megan Meyer, will be held at the Randy Meyer Racing Team booth.

Meyer will discuss the team’s national Move Over campaign, titled, “Racing to Save Lives,” which is in partnership with the Towing & Recovery Association of America (TRAA) and INA Towing Network. Megan will be joined by drag racer Deni Jensen and other members of the Randy Meyer Racing Team. The team believes that current Slow Down-Move Over campaigns are not reaching many motorists.

“We believe that a highly focused national campaign that travels the nation following the National Hot Rod Association tour may help boost Slow Down-Move Over laws,” the organization stated. “With help from the Towing and Recovery Association of America, we will deploy our Racing to Save Lives mission.” The racing debut of the TRAA and INA Towing Network branded dragster is set to take place during the 2025 NHRA Gator Nationals in Gainesville, FL from March 6-9 at the historic Gainesville Raceway.

The Meyer mission is to continue its winning legacy on the track while also championing safety for the men and women working in roadside assistance. Slow Down Move Over laws have been enacted in each of the 50 states to protect first responders. Many of these state laws include towing operators. Still, studies by the Centers for Disease Control and others show that towing operators have among the highest fatality rates of any workers.
