Easy Ways You Can Immediately Help to Pass the RPM Act
Support for the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act (RPM Act), H.R. 3281 and S. 2736, continues to strengthen as members of Congress receive an outpouring of support for the bill from racers, fans, and the motorsports industry. The racing community sent over 1.5 million letters in 2021, which have been integral in generating strong bipartisan support for the RPM Act (over 145 members of Congress having agreed to sponsor the bill as a result).
However, we need your help now more than ever, as Congress has now passed the halfway point in the 2021-2022 session. We must ramp up the pressure on lawmakers in Washington, D.C., to pass the RPM Act in 2022 and protect the future of racing!
