Elgin Sweeper signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement allowing the company to become an official partner with NASCAR Green, the sustainability arm of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing Inc. (NASCAR). The new alliance makes Elgin Sweeper an Official NASCAR Green Partner, with the designation “Official Sweeper of NASCAR Green.”
Elgin Sweeper will be present at each NASCAR race event weekend to support NASCAR's Air Titan equipment to dry rain-soaked racetracks, saving jet fuel and reducing NASCAR’s overall carbon footprint. In addition to supporting the Air Titan equipment with the Elgin Crosswind Specialty Track Sweeper, Elgin Sweeper will help clean and dry the tracks during caution periods if necessary.
The regenerative air Crosswind Specialty Track Sweeper adapts features from Elgin Sweeper’s highly successful Crosswind GRS (glycol recovery sweeper), a special-purpose sweeper used to vacuum liquid glycol from airport runways. This specialty sweeper includes features developed for racetrack sweeping, track drying and conditioning, such as a side air-blast nozzle, a reverse sweep system, a 20,000 CFM-rated blower and a hydraulically-driven side broom with plastic bristles.
In addition to sweeping the racetracks, the Elgin Sweeper Crosswind Specialty Track Sweeper can also quickly and efficiently remove standing water, rubber and debris in and around the pit area, which contributes to the overall safety of the racers, their crews and spectators. The sweeper’s powerful blower is ideally suited for locations such as grass on the inside field, pit areas and weepers (cracks on a racetrack where water seeps through).
