NASCAR tracks turning to robot mowers to maintain their grounds

When the ground crews at Daytona International Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway need to maintain the areas surrounding their legendary race tracks, they turn to RC Mowers, a leading manufacturer of remote-operated and autonomous robotic mowers, to cut some of the most famous banks in racing.

RC Mowers will showcase its remote-controlled and autonomous robotic mowers at two Daytona International Speedway races on Feb. 18 and 19 and will also exhibit its mowers at select races later in the year at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

"Our mowers have helped these racetracks address major challenges which include solving labor, safety and efficiency issues," said Tim Kubista, vice president of sales and marketing for RC Mowers. "These speedways have allowed us to showcase our mowers at select events. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain national awareness for our brand. Thousands of people will pass by our products in Daytona and Miami over the course of these events."

RC Mowers is putting their mowers alongside other major brands such as Toyota, Door Dash, Ally Bank, and Sunoco.

Daytona International Speedway uses the TK-52XP to mow their outer banks and Homestead-Miami Speedway utilizes the TK-44E for theirs. Talladega Superspeedway has maintained their banks with a TK-60XP since 2021.

The robotic mower company also will be on hand at the Wawa 250 Powered by Coca-Cola race on Aug. 25, 2023 and the Coke Zero Sugar 400 on Aug. 26, 2023 at Daytona International Speedway and will showcase their mowers at the Contender Boats 300 on Oct. 21, 2023, and at the NASCAR Cup Series 400 on Oct. 22, 2023, at Homestead-Miami Speedway. RC Mowers displayed their collection at these same events in 2022.
