The National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) has been named entitlement partner for the upcoming NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts race as part of the spring race weekend at Martinsville Speedway.
The NFPA 250 will take place on Saturday, March 28, as part of the tripleheader race weekend at the famed short track.
“Collaborating with an organization like NFPA is more than just any partnership, it’s a shared commitment to the importance of safety in our community and in racing,” said Clay Campbell, President of Martinsville Speedway. “Fire safety has always played a critical role in protecting our fans in the grandstands and our drivers and teams out on the track, and we’re honored to have NFPA there with us to ensure everyone can enjoy all the racing action in the safest environment possible.”
For 130 years, the NFPA has been helping to solve some of the planet’s toughest safety problems. As a self-funded nonprofit, the association strives to help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge, and passion. Today, NFPA publishes more than 300 codes and standards, spanning every area of fire, life, and electrical safety.
“NASCAR has a long-standing commitment to safety, both on and off the track,” said NFPA President and CEO Jim Pauley. “This collaboration aligns perfectly with NFPA’s mission to protect people and property from fire and other hazards. We’re excited to serve as the entitlement sponsor of the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series NFPA 250 at Martinsville Speedway, bringing national attention to the importance of fire safety for individuals, families, businesses, and communities.”
