CHANDLER, Arizona – June 10, 2025 – Radford Racing School (https://radfordracingschool.com/), the nation’s foremost driving and racing school, has added a new Defensive Driving Academy to its legendary lineup of performance driving and racing courses. Designed for drivers of all ages, the new Academy offers an exhilarating alternative to traditional defensive driving programs and gives students enrolled in the course the option of driving new Dodge vehicles for the first time.
“Over the years, we’ve been asked to develop a dedicated defensive driving program that combines our professional driver training and world-class facility with our fleet of performance-ready Dodge vehicles,” said Chuck Sundstrom, General Manager of Radford Racing School. “We answered that demand with our new Defensive Driving Academy that is an exciting alternative to traditional, often mundane driver education programs. Our one and two day course options are perfect for drivers of every skill level and age. Students will even get to train in our performance-ready Dodge Challenger Hellcat and Dodge Charger Hellcat.”
The Defensive Driving Academy is available for new and experienced drivers, including those with a valid Learners Permit. It was created to develop responsible driving habits in a safe, controlled environment. The one-day course includes classroom instruction along with slalom, accident avoidance, autocross and hot laps with instructors. The two-day course adds additional track time with a focus on high speed braking and advanced handling and autocross training. Every graduate receives a certificate of completion.
“Our new Academy is the defensive driving program you didn’t know you need but will most certainly build your skills behind the wheel,” said Sundstrom. “It will give new drivers more confidence, while seasoned drivers will hone their skills. We’re bringing our performance-level driver training to each course and translating that into safer driving standards for the road. While this course bucks the trend of a traditional defensive driving course, our students will walk away with the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe behind the wheel.”
The Radford Racing School Defensive Driving Academy may qualify for certain auto insurance discounts. Students should contact their provider prior to enrolling in the course.
