It might be not so surprising considering their love for speed, but many race car drivers also happen to be enthusiastic cyclists.

During a press conference by sponsored by Racers Who Ride, race car drivers urged motorists to give cyclists room on the road and reminded cyclists to respect the rules of the road.

Race car drivers “love going fast. It’s our profession, but there’s a time and place for it. We need to be courteous to one and another. We’re both allowed on the street together. At the end of the day, we’re all humans. It’s a human in the car. It’s a human on the bike. You need to respect one another and give each other room,” said Brad Jaeger, a Continental Tire Series driver who will be competing at the Speedway on Friday.
