‘Slow Down Move Over’ Message Delivered at Florida Capitol

Randy Meyer Racing joined forces with the Towing and Recovery Association of America (TRAA) and the INA Towing Network to host a high-profile Slow Down Move Over (SDMO) press conference at the Florida State Capitol. The event brought together key public safety officials and industry leaders to raise awareness about the critical need for drivers to slow down and move over for emergency responders and tow operators.

Representatives in attendance included members of the Florida Highway Patrol, Florida Highway Safety Office, Tallahassee Police Department, and Tallahassee Fire Department, alongside James Jennings, TRAA’s 2nd Vice President, and Gay Rochester, CEO of INA Towing Network and TRAA’s WTRAA Representative. Their unified message was clear: protecting roadside responders must be a priority for all motorists.

The press conference featured two eye-catching race cars wrapped in vibrant SDMO-themed designs—Matt Cummings’ Injected Nitro Dragster and world champion Julie Nataas’ Injected Nitro Funny Car. Both vehicles served as mobile billboards for the SDMO message and later hit the track at the NHRA Gatornationals, held March 6–9 at Gainesville Raceway.

“TRAA appreciates the engagement and support of the industry as we work together to advocate on this critical issue,” said a TRAA representative. “We look forward to a future where every responder can go home to their friends and family at the end of the day.”
