Race series launches Fleet Participation Program
The partners behind the ChampTruck
World Series Class 8 truck racing
series announced a Fleet Participa-
tion Program at the Great Ameri-
can Trucking Show in Dallas. The
10-event series is set to start April
17-19 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Under the "exchange program,"
said ChampTruck's John Condren,
fleets can donate a small number
of low-value trucks and get
one back as a "million-dollar
brand-marketing tool."
"What we're offering to
the fleets will not cost them
a dime," Condren said.
"Companies will provide
ChampTruck World Series
some of these trucks, and we'll
build each one into a fully
prepared race truck. One of
them we'll give back to the
fleet. The fleet can take that
truck and use it for publicity,
or they may want to race it" in
the series.
The race driver, Condren
said, could be a driver from
the fleet, a sponsored celebrity
or someone else.
One of Condren's partners
is U.S Class 8 truck racer
Mike Ryan.
The series announced prepa-
rations for the 2015 launch at
last year's GATS, and 10 trucks
now are confirmed.

ChampTruck stock racing
