Chevrolet Silverado Nascar race truck

Some of the more cumbersome North American market pick up trucks would rank among the last things you d ever want to take anywhere near a racetrack but race them people do. The Nascar Camping World Truck Series puts heavily modified trucks like this streamlined Chevy Silverado head to head on the most famous oval circuits in the US.

The Truck series kicked off with demonstration races at the 1994 Daytona 500 and has continued ever since. The race prepared machines produce up to 700hp from their 5.8 litre pushrod V8 engines.
