Amkus and motorsports a winning partnership

In 1984, AMKUS conducted a demonstration of its extrication equipment for NASCAR and Daytona  International Speedway staff in Daytona Beach at a hotel parking lot not far from the beach. AMKUS supplied rescue tools that year to the Daytona International Speedway and NASCAR, and thus, a winning partnership was born.

Today, Track Services Safety Teams carry AMKUS Rescue Systems tools at every NASCAR-sanctioned event. In 2014 the AMKUS racing family expanded again, adding the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association), ARCA and IMSA. These relationships continue and we believe that our relationship with professional motorsports is the ultimate proving ground for AMKUS product innovation.
