Sponsors, partners and people we really like
Even though Edge is free for students to attend, it costs a lot to conduct one of our events . . . and that’s where our sponsors and partners come in. Without their support, it would be impossible for Edge to be a free program. Our sponsors and partners truly believe in our cause, and we’re grateful for their support. Visit their websites, send them a note and tell them how much you appreciate their help!
The premier open-wheel motorsports series in America, the IZOD IndyCar Series has been a Driver’s Edge partner since 2006. Our connection with racing goes to the very core of what we do; understanding and teaching vehicle dynamics to make safer drivers.
So whether it’s turn one at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway or a turn into your driveway, the number one priority of the IZOD IndyCar Series is safety. That’s why they’ve joined forces with Driver’s Edge for our campaign to help raise awareness that the number one killer of young Americans, motor vehicle collisions, is actually avoidable.
We’re proud to call the IndyCar Series the Official Motorsports Series of Driver’s Edge. Visit www.indycar.com.
Since 2003, the Nevada Department of Public Safety and the Office of Traffic Safety have supported Driver’s Edge events in our home state of Nevada. Our Nevada programs are funded in part by an annual grant from the Nevada Department of Public Safety administered by the Office of Traffic Safety. This funding has helped us grow and we’ve educated more young drivers in the state of Nevada than anywhere else in the country!
