A Gatornationals racer took a break from his busy schedule to talk to local students about driving safely.

The Tire Kingdom and NHRA Top Fuel driver, Dom Lagana, spoke to students at Gainesville High School Wednesday.

He talked about the dangers of texting while driving and the importance of proper tire pressure, something he says many folks don't think about.

Students received an emergency roadside kit and were able to ask questions about racing in Gatornationals.
