Global Medical Response (GMR) announced today a multiyear extension of its partnership with INDYCAR and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. GMR, the parent company of American Medical Response (AMR), is proud to sponsor the AMR INDYCAR Safety Team, which consists of approximately 30 safety personnel, with a minimum of 18 attending each event.
“GMR and the AMR INDYCAR Safety Team are integral pieces to INDYCAR’s success both on and off the track,” INDYCAR President Jay Frye said. “Their industry-leading expertise and support have set the standard. It is reassuring to know that their phenomenal resources and skill will be available at NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone events for many years to come.”
AMR works closely with Indiana University Health and the INDYCAR Safety Team to ensure the highest level of on-track safety and medical response at all INDYCAR events. With a focus on motorsports safety and education, GMR dedicates resources to local tracks across the country and works closely with the International Council of Motorsports Science (ICMS). The ICMS is dedicated to promoting the latest research and innovations in motorsport safety.
“We are thrilled to extend our contract with the INDYCAR as GMR remains committed to motorsport safety,” says Randy Strozyk, senior vice president of Executive Operations for GMR. “Our team has a long partnership with the racing community, and we are honored to continue promoting on-track safety and innovation.”
“For more than 100 years, IMS has been on the forefront of safety innovation, and the swift, life-saving care provided by the AMR Safety Team is one way we continue to ensure the best outcome possible for drivers and fans alike,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “The premium care provided by our first responders at each event make our sport possible.”
AMR is the largest provider of emergency medical services in the U.S. and a leader in pre-hospital care and treatment.
