NEXDIESEL Renewable Diesel Trophy Truck

Pittsburg, Calif. -- Safecraft Fire Suppression Systems, the racing industry’s standard for fire safety for over 20 years and relative new-comer NeXgen Fuel, provider of “NEXDIESEL,” the best alternative renewable diesel on the market have teamed up to sponsor 5-time Baja 1000 champion Andy McMillin (Trophy Truck #31) at BITD’s “Vegas to Reno” (Aug. 16-19) as well as the SCORE International Baja 1000 (Nov. 16-20), where McMillin will be paired with 13-time Baja 1000 champion and Off-Road Hall of Fame Inductee Larry Roeseler, Team Manager of NeXgen Fuel Racing. The duo will be campaigning for the Baja 1000 Overall victory in McMillin’s TSCO built Trophy Truck and will be helping test and develop NeXgen’s new diesel powered Trophy Truck which is set to debut at the 1000. This will be the first time the sports two winningest Baja 1000 drivers have teamed up, immediately making them a pre-race favorite.
Safecraft, an established, highly successful company, consistently delivering time-proven results and revolutionizing the fire safety standard together with NeXgen Fuel, an up and coming company that increasingly delivers outstanding, cutting-edge alternative fuel at the forefront of success parallels the companies’ strategic alignment with top drivers Larry “The Legend” Roeseler, a multi-time champion and off-road Hall of Famer and now, Andy McMillin, a multi-time champion in his own right and the youngest person to win the Baja 1000 Overall as well as being tied for most Baja 1000 Overall victories in a 4-wheel vehicle with five.
“The partnership is a winning combination all around,” said Pat O’Keefe, President and CEO of Safecraft and NeXgen Fuel. “Safecraft is the leader in fire suppression systems; NeXgen Fuel is the leader in diesel technology and Andy McMillin and Larry Roeseler are two of the winningest drivers in the history of the Baja 1000. They all have what it takes to succeed and win.”
Safecraft/NeXgen Fuel will be announcing shortly who will be behind the wheel of their in-house Trophy Truck #20 in November to round out their two pronged attack of the 49th Anniversary of the Baja 1000. This will be the first time in racing history that anyone will be running NEXDIESEL Renewable Diesel as a fuel source.
”Being at the forefront of technology in off-road racing is my passion and strategically partnering with Safecraft and NeXgen Fuel is an exciting opportunity,“ said Andy McMillin. “These companies are used to pushing the envelope without sacrificing quality or safety. They’re in it to win and so am I.”
