INDIANAPOLIS – National Transportation Consultants Inc. will continue its partnership with Tony Stewart Racing as the team’s official department of transportation consulting firm.
As part of the decade-long relationship, TSR will continue to utilize NTCI’s services to maintain and continue to build on the team’s commitment to safe transportation as it travels the United States and Canada to compete at more than 80 different race tracks.
“Our partnership with Tony Stewart Racing is in its tenth year and we couldn’t be more pleased to continue the relationship,” said Ryan Billet, President of NTCI. “TSR’s commitment to establishing and maintaining a DOT safety and compliance program shows a strong commitment to safe driving. DOT regulations are ever-changing and with the federally required implementation of ELDs (electronic logging devices) in-place NTCI looks forward to helping TSR and other forms of short-track racing teams adapt to these new regulations. TSR’s proactive approach to DOT safety and compliance enables the team to continue to be a leader at every level in the motorsports industry.”
The announcement comes just as the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance begins this year’s 72-hour International Roadcheck program, scheduled to run June 5-7. CVSA inspectors will be stationed at more than 2,500 locations across North America. The annual three-day roadside commercial vehicle safety crackdown brings out inspectors in force who, this year, will place special focus on hours-of-service compliance.
The International Roadcheck operation is the largest commercial-vehicle-targeted enforcement program in the world with an average of 15 trucks or buses being inspected every minute from Canada to Mexico during the 72-hour period. Each year, approximately 10,000 CVSA-certified local, state, provincial and federal inspectors at 2,500 locations across North America perform the truck and bus inspections. Since its inception in 1988, more than 1.4 million roadside inspections have been conducted during International Roadcheck campaigns.
This year the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series entry of Donny Schatz and the winged sprint car entry of Tony Stewart continue to carry the NTCI logo. TSR’s DOT program has expanded in recent years along with the team’s growth, and the importance of safe transportation has become a top priority.
“NTCI offers a great program that helps keep our teams up to date on DOT safety and new compliance regulations,” said TSR team owner Tony Stewart. “It’s a perfect fit for TSR as NTCI is also based in Indiana. NTCI has been an integral part of our operation’s transition into the ELD era. We’re very proud to continue our partnership with NTCI again this season, and we’re looking forward to continuing to hold our transportation program to the highest level of safety compliance.”
