Dearborn, Mich. — Colin Braun, 20-year old NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver has teamed up with Ford Driving Skills for Life to promote the importance of safe driving to teens around the country.
Braun, now in his second year driving the No. 6 Con-way Freight Ford F-150 for Roush Fenway Racing, knows the importance of safe driving on and off the track. As part of the yearlong partnership, Braun will participate in DSFL hands-on training events and various nationwide teen safe-driving initiatives.
“We are very proud to have Colin Braun join the Ford DSFL team,” said Jim Graham, Community Relations Manager of Ford Motor Company Fund. “His ability to relate to young drivers is invaluable. We are excited to have Colin Braun and Roush Fenway Racing support Ford Driving Skills for Life.”
Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other drivers. Through DSFL, teens are able to improve their skills in four key areas that are critical factors in more than 60 percent of teen vehicle crashes: Hazard Recognition, Vehicle Handling, Space Management, and Speed Management.
"I am pleased to be a part of the Ford Driving Skills For Life program. Having grown up racing all my life, I learned early on there is a time and place for driving fast, but public roads are not it.” said Braun.
