Richard Childress Racing has announced a long-term partnership with Mack Trucks, designating Mack as the “Official Long Haul Truck of Richard Childress Racing.” The collaboration promises to deliver substantial operational benefits.
“The Mack Anthem has proven its reliability and quality time and time again over the past eight years as the official hauler of NASCAR,” said David Galbraith, vice president of global marketing and brand for Mack Trucks. “This partnership will ensure RCR technology and equipment is reliably transported to racing events.”
The Mack Anthem 70-inch Stand-Up Sleeper models provided under this agreement are powered by a 13-liter Mack MP 8 engine that produces 505 horsepower and 1,860 lb-ft of torque. That’s a lot of torque.
Beyond operational efficiencies, the partnership aims to drive engagement with NASCAR fans. The brand will offer experiences at events, including opportunities for customers to meet RCR drivers, tour the trucks and participate in victory celebrations.

“We are extremely proud to announce our partnership, which provides us with the opportunity to share the capabilities of Mack products and the excitement of the NASCAR season with customers and fans,” said Galbraith.
Founded in 1969, RCR has an impressive track record of 16 championships and over 200 victories. Currently, the team boasts an accomplished lineup of drivers including Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon, Jesse Love and Austin Hill. Reflecting on this new partnership, Richard Childress Racing President Torrey Galida is excited to work with the logistics company.
“Richard Childress Racing looks forward to a future with Mack Trucks, which will help ensure our success during the racing season by providing us with a complete transportation solution.”
These Mack Anthem trucks are pretty impressive. They feature Mack Command Steer, an active steering system that reduces driver effort by up to 85%, and Mack GuardDog Connect, which offers proactive diagnostics and repair planning. These trucks promise to minimize downtime and maximize productivity for RCR’s logistics operations. That means there’s more time to plan for victory.
“Our partnership was made possible thanks to our complete trust in Mack Trucks, whose values of excellence and innovation match our own,” added Galida.
The playoffs continue this weekend at Go Bowling at the Glen on Sunday.
