AMR will provide a team of four highly trained and experienced paramedics and physicians who will work closely alongside SRX officials to respond to on-track incidents and provide emergency medical care. The AMR Safety Team has been outfitted with a fully-equipped Chevrolet Traverse for on-track incident response and dons a special paint scheme to honor the All Clear Foundation; an organization that creates and funds innovative programs to improve the life expectancy and wellbeing of first responders.

Ribbs, Bill Elliott, Ernie Francis Jr., Marco Andretti, Helio Castroneves and Michael Waltrip are the drivers comprising SRX, with the series’ first race set for June 12 at Stafford (Conn.)
