BASKING RIDGE, N.J., July 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon Frontline will support a ceremonial first lap in honor of first responders at two upcoming NASCAR Cup Series™ races.

The Verizon Frontline First Lap for First Responders will feature a fleet of public safety vehicles and will be held prior to the July 24 NASCAR Cup Series™ race at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa., and again before the “Verizon 200 at the Brickyard” at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) in Speedway, Ind., on July 31.

The first laps will each include a number of state and local public safety agency representatives and multiple police, fire and emergency medical services (EMS) vehicles.

I’m excited that, through the First Lap for First Responders, Verizon Frontline can give race fans the opportunity to participate in this appreciation event honoring these brave men and women.”

“Celebrating and honoring our military members and first responders is an integral piece of Pocono Raceway's ethos, and we are delighted to partner with Verizon Frontline on this ‘First Lap for First Responders’ to recognize these amazing men and women in front of our NASCAR® fans,” said Pocono Raceway President, Ben May.
