The Rev Up VIP Racing Experience Sweepstakes runs until July 1, 2016 and offers fans the chance to win a behind-the-scenes VIP racing experience and a chance to meet Stewart. Fans can enter by going to www.adamspetcare.com/revup. In addition, Adams Flea and Tick Control is pledging $1 from each sale of Adams™ shampoo and Adams™ spray flea and tick products this summer, up to $150,000, to support ongoing pet rescue efforts.

Stewart is also helping get the word out about pet safety, as summer creates potential, everyday dangers.

“Never leave a pet in the car, even with the window cracked,” Stewart says. “Cars get really hot, really fast. Don’t risk your pet’s health.”

In fact, every year hundreds of pets die from heat exhaustion because they are left in parked cars. Especially during the summer, pet owners should be mindful that temperatures inside a car can increase almost 20 degrees in just 10 minutes.

Additional safety tips to help pet owners steer clear of trouble this summer:

  • Provide plenty of water and shade to help protect pets from overheating
  • Save the outdoor play time for mornings or evenings when it’s cooler
  • Protect against flea and tick infestations. The summer heat triggers flea and tick outbreaks and products like Adams™ flea and tick sprays and shampoos help keep pets free from fleas and ticks
