NASCAR Kicks Off Green Initiative, Unveils Air Titan 2.0 System

NASCAR on Friday at Martinsville Speedway kicked off its second annual Race to Green initiative. A key pillar of the effort is a call-to-action for fans and the industry to donate trees that will be planted across the country as well as in a number of areas recently devastated by natural disasters. NASCAR fans can visit NASCAR.com/Green to donate trees to be planted with the support of The Arbor Day Foundation. Social media highlights of the sustainability efforts will be featured on the website.

NASCAR also unveiled the new Air Titan 2.0 track-drying technology at Martinsville. The system works in conjunction with existing jet dryers and the Eco-Infused Track Vacuum/Sweeper from Elgin, which becomes the Official Sweeper of NASCAR Green. NASCAR now has the ability to deploy up to 21 units in Toyota Tundras at larger venues (THE DAILY).
