Common Ground Alliance and NASCAR Promote Safe Digging Month

CGA Platinum Sponsor Shell Pipeline LP, continued their support of the 811 message of safety by featuring the logo during one of the most-watched sporting events in the country. During the Talladega Race, the No. 29 Shell-Pennzoil Chevrolet featured the "Call 811" logo on its deck lid and rocker panels to maximize exposure to fans at Talladega Superspeedway in support of National Safe Digging Month. Kevin Harvick raced the No. 29 Shell-Pennzoil Chevrolet to victory lane and celebrated his first win of the season. During the race, Harvick helped celebrate National Safe Digging month by sporting the "Call 811" logo to help educate fans about the importance of following the proper safety procedures when digging. CGA is now also featured on Facebook at www.facebook.com/CGAConnect and Twitter at www.twitter.com/CGAConnect, with both networks serving as a place for CGA stakeholders to meet each other, share news stories and case studies, and learn about upcoming CGA initiatives and meetings.
