NASCAR Teams Up with Homeland Security to Fight Online Child Abuse

If your favorite sport's heroes joined forces with the government to tackle a major societal issue. That's exactly what NASCAR has done by teaming up with the Department of Homeland Security. The issue at hand? Online child sexual exploitation and abuse, often shortened to CSA. As technology advances, so does the risk of cybercrime against children. This is where NASCAR steps in. The Department of Homeland Security has launched a campaign called "It only takes 19 seconds. " This campaign aims to show how quickly an innocent online chat can turn dangerous. NASCAR is spreading the word via its race venues, like Talladega Superspeedway and Martinsville Speedway. The goal is to raise awareness and keep kids safe online. NASCAR isn't new to community service. Last year, after Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina, NASCAR pitched in to help. They donated money, delivered supplies, and even built portable homes for those affected. This shows that NASCAR isn't just about racing; it's also about making a real difference in people's lives.
