• 4-24-2012 Masters of the Road

  If you are a viewer of NASCAR races, you may have seen it already, but if not, here is Featherlite’s latest NASCAR commercial – Masters of the Road. So many people know us for our NASCAR trailers and our horse and livestock trailers, but we really do some cool stuff when it comes to specialty trailers. This includes medical trailers like the Wright Medical and Medtronic units featured in this commercial. BAE with its Hawk Advanced Jet Training System is also a recent event marketing trailer owner that you may spot in this 30-second ad. Check it out!

• 3-19-2012 Broadcast trailers

  During the NASCAR season, Featherlite provides broadcast trailers to each of the networks that broadcast the races. And we’ve also built broadcast trailers for other clients as well. Often, for the trailers used at NASCAR races, the bottom half of the trailer will be used for the director and producer’s offices while the top part is used for storage. Depending on the client’s needs, a full broadcast studio suite can be custom designed into the trailer’s floorplan. Other popular options may include:

  • Control room
  • Voice booth
  • Conference area
  • Multiple desks
  • Edit suites
  • Lounge
  • Kitchen
  • Restroom
  • Slideouts for more space
  • And more!

  In addition to providing trailers for NASCAR’s TV partners, Featherlite manufactures race car haulers that haul the cars of many NASCAR teams, in addition to vending trailers and hospitality trailers. So, next time you’re watching a NASCAR race, look beyond the team’s transporters, because Featherlites are being used elsewhere at races too!

• 1-3-2012 2012 NASCAR Summit

  Featherlite will be in attendance as a vendor at the 2012 NASCAR Summit in Concord, North Carolina. It’s the annual meeting for representatives from all of the facilities that host NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Natonwide Series, Camping World Truck Series and Touring and Weekly Series events. Many government and law enforcement officials also attend. They discuss topics such as security, access control, risk management, fire suppression, extrication and emergency medical services. About 600 attendees are expected.

  Featherlite will have one of its passenger tram trailers or “people movers” on site at this event. They’re a great addition to race tracks and other tourist attractions as they accommodate up to 33 people per tram.

  

  

  At Featherlite, we’re looking forward to the networking opportunities at this year’s NASCAR Summit and the 2012 race season for that matter!
