The Columbus Police Department is showing off its lip-syncing skills with a new video. And it is getting help with a surprise appearance by NASCAR legend and Columbus resident Tony Stewart.

Lt. Matt Harris explains…

Harris adds that officers had some help from a pretty big name.

Harris stresses that no taxpayer money was spent on the video, which took 10 hours over two days to make.

Stewart is in the opening scene of the video, as officers chase his truck down a country road to the tune of Sammy Hagar’s “I Can’t Drive 55.” Harris stresses that no taxpayer money was spent on the video, which took 10 hours over two days to make.

The video was released yesterday on Facebook and You Tube and as of this morning, it has already been viewed 1.2 million times and shared more than 50 thousand.
