In a crisis or worried about someone? Call or text 988.
Race to Stop Suicide uses the reach of motorsports to put one life-saving message in front of millions: it is okay to talk, it is okay to ask for help, and help is available through 988.
We are not mental healthcare professionals. We connect people to conversation, education, and trusted resources.
A national stage for a life-saving message

“We chose racing because it gives us a platform people pay attention to. When that attention can help one person speak up, check on someone, or call 988, we have to use it.”
— Randy Dye, Founder
Race to Stop Suicide began after a meeting with Halifax Health opened the door to a much bigger conversation. Randy Dye saw how deeply suicide and mental health struggles affect families, schools, veterans, workplaces, sports, and communities.
His response was direct: use the professional racing platform to make the message impossible to miss.
Today, Race to Stop Suicide brings that message to racetracks, classrooms, community events, national broadcasts, and the road—always pointing people toward real help and reminding them they are not alone.
This is not a campaign that belongs to one driver, one family, or one organization. It affects all of us, and all of us can be part of the solution.
Randy Dye is the owner of Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM, and Maserati Alfa Romeo of Daytona which employs more than 100 people from our community. A former race car driver himself, he is the current owner of Daniel Dye Racing where his son Daniel drives in NASCAR
Daniel Dye, 22, from Daytona Beach, Florida, started his racing career at just 8 years old in quarter midgets. Daniel has steadily climbed the ranks of motorsports. Stay updated by following his social media channels.
