Featherlite provides at-track support at NASCAR-sanctioned races each season.

Today, Featherlite manufactures haulers for a large segment of NASCAR teams as well as builds the trailers that serve as NASCARโs at-track offices and meeting spaces for race officials and other personnel throughout the race weekend, among many other functions.
โOur relationship with Featherlite dates back many years, and weโre excited to continue this valued partnership,โ said Elton Sawyer, vice president officiating and technical inspection, NASCAR. โWe depend on Featherlite trailers every weekend throughout a season that takes us to all parts of the country. Featherliteโs support and reliability have helped us execute our events over the years, and we look forward to continuing the relationship.โ

โFeatherlite is very proud to continue our partnership with NASCAR,โ said Justin Queensland, vice president/general manager. โOur relationship with NASCAR over the last 25 plus years has been an integral part of our business.
