UPS RACING

Hey, UPS Racing Fans!

This week is a very exciting week for UPS Racing and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). David Ragan and the UPS team will compete in the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway with a special BGCA design on the No. 6 Ford Fusion.

Earlier this season, the UPS Foundation and the BGCA launched a program together called Road Code. The program, which is run through BGCA locations throughout the country, teaches teens the importance of safe driving. With the help of UPS’s own drivers, and a few appearances by David Ragan himself, teens across the nation are learning what they can do to become safer drivers.

And while we can’t give away all of the details of the design just yet, check back to the site on Thursday when we’ll have photos of David unveiling the new look of  the No. 6 Ford with the help of some Dallas teens involved in the UPS Road Code program.

David will blog on-location from Texas Motor Speedway to keep you up to speed with all of the details of the car’s design, and about his plans to drive it into Victory Lane!

David at Atlanta Motor Speedway

I have been with UPS for 21 years and during the week I work in the Technology Support Group as the IT manager in Georgia. For my job, I’m in charge of all of the telephones, servers and PCs. I really like my job because I like working on computers and also providing good customer service for our company. I just try and make sure all the infrastructure is up and running correctly.

This last weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway was my first time working the UPS Trackside Services program, and man, I did I love it! It’s an adrenaline rush to be at the track and around the sport. Being able to come out and work at the track really makes me want to follow the sport much closer than I have been in the past.

The UPS program at the track is one that is very important on the race weekends and we received a lot of compliments for the service that we provide to everyone at the track. It was nice to hear people tell us that they are thankful that our program exists and that they know they can count on us to help them with all of their shipping needs.

When I’m not busy working at UPS, I like to spend my time golfing.
