2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500HD NHRA SAFETY TRUCK

DURAMAX-POWERED SUPPORT VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO HELP KEEP RACERS SAFE ON THE TRACK

Formed in the 1950s to educate amateur racers on how to set up a safe drag race, the NHRA Safety Safari has evolved into the sanctioning body’s first-line safety team for the NHRA Mello Yellow series. Its duties include inspecting and prepping the track before an event and assisting with firefighting and other safety-related tasks during the race.

Supporting this dedicated team is a fleet of specially outfitted trucks like the 2018 Silverado 3500 NHRA Safety Safari concept. It’s equipped with a fire suppression system and other supporting equipment, including an AMKUS Rescue Equipment System. For maximum capability, the concept safety vehicle is powered by the Silverado HD’s available Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel engine, which offers 910 lb-ft of torque and 445 horsepower — the segment’s highest horsepower rating.
