Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Named Official Truck & Tow Vehicle of the NMCA
Chevrolet, a longtime sponsor and supporter of the Red Line Oil NMCA Muscle Car Nationals, has expanded its role with the popular sanctioning body by becoming the “Official Truck & Tow Vehicle of NMCA” for 2022 and beyond.
The NMCA national event series has partnered with Chevrolet Performance for more than 20 years in various programs from launching the LSX lineup of factory performance parts to celebrating the 50th anniversary of the famed COPO Camaro. As the Official Truck & Tow Vehicle of NMCA, Chevrolet has provided the series a pair of 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD dually pickup trucks for towing and fire/safety purposes with more than a dozen competitions on the schedule as both a sanctioning body and event production company.
“Our long-term relationship with Chevrolet is very valuable to NMCA from their deeply engrained performance division and now their line-up of new trucks and tow vehicles. We’re thrilled to showcase these trucks across the country, displaying their capabilities to our racing community and relying on them as key components to fire/safety response in our high-speed sport,” said Rollie Miller, general manager and national event director of ProMedia Events & Publishing, the parent company to the Red Line Oil NMCA Muscle Car Nationals, Holley NMRA Ford Nationals and ProMedia Productions.
The top-of-the-line Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD trucks will be showcased at all events for racers and fans—even as they stand ready to respond on the racetrack. The NMCA/NMRA teams use the trucks to move two large-sized United Trailers from Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales from track to track. The trailers contain safety equipment, onsite transportation, a series merchandise store, and the office space needed to successfully operate the second largest sanctioning body in drag racing.
