Florida’s Xtreme Action Park To Host Distracted Driving Benefit - Speedway Digest

Professional MAZDA Factory racing driver Tristan Nunez announced today his foundation had partnered with Florida-based Xtreme Action Park. The youngest driver to win a sports car championship, Nunez is the founder of the “Dnt txt n drV Foundation:” a foundation that raises funds and awareness to prevent distracted driving.

Xtreme Action Park, along with Broward County’s initiative, the “Take 5 to Stay Alive – Don’t Text and Drive” campaign, is joining forces with Nunez’s foundation to further their efforts to end distracted driving. They will also host the foundation’s fundraiser on Nov. 15, for a karting Enduro, called “Fast and Focused.” Individual drivers, as well as teams of four, will be racing at Xtreme Action Park’s indoor race track and attendees can enter to win prizes, while enjoying free food and beverages.

“We’re so thrilled to be teaming up with Tristan Nunez,” said Elizabeth Sommerfeld, Marketing Director Xtreme Action Park. “Not only is he an amazing talent and from our home-state of Florida, but he shares our commitment for putting an end to distracted driving.”

Xtreme Action Park is family entertainment venue featuring an indoor karting track that has recently gone under a complete renovation and is now offering bowling, a ropes course, restaurant, Hershey’s Ice Cream Shake Shoppe and sports bar, as well as their new 5,000 sq ft event space where Nunez’s fundraiser will be hosted.

In addition to partnering with the venue, Nunez also appears in the safety video new go kart drivers must watch before getting behind the wheel at the venue.

“Having Xtreme Action Park as our safety partner is especially cool,” said Nunez, “because it’s actually the first place I drove a go-kart, at age 11. This place is amazing and it sparked my love of racing!”

The “Fast and Focused” fundraising event takes place from 2:30-5:00 p.m., Nov. 15, at Xtreme Action Park 5300 Powerline Road, in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. To register, visit: bit.ly/NUNEZ_ENDURO.
