MasterCraft Safety Races Into NASCAR With New Camlock Restraints

Justin Lofton may be a new face in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, but the 2004 Best In The Desert Rookie of the Year and former Class 1000 champion has a long history in the desert. It was in this rugged environment where Lofton originally relied on MasterCraft Safety products, and that relationship did not come to an end when the 24-year-old driver entered the high stakes NASCAR arena. Holding Lofton firmly in place at speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour are MasterCraft Safety’s new six-point SFI 16.5 Camlock Restraints, which were designed from the ground up specifically for the demanding conditions of NASCAR racing. The talented rookie placed in the top twenty in the first two races of the season, proving that he is a quick learner. Look for Lofton to continue his strong season at the Kroger 250 in Martinsville on March 27th.

Adding to Lofton’s safety and comfort is his MasterCraft Safety Signature Series two-layer race suit. Available in SFI 3.2A/1 and SFI 3.2A/5, MasterCraft Safety performance driving suits meet and exceed all relevant fire protection requirements while providing a comfortable fit and design with innovative features such as 360 degree soft Nomex® stretch knit arm attachments for unrestricted arm movement. Related products include fuel and pit crew fire suits, neck braces, helmet skirts, and elbow and knee pads for pit crew safety.

Based in Santee, California, MasterCraft Safety is the leading manufacturer of suspension seating, five-point restraints, window nets, and limit straps used in applications as varied as NASCAR and military vehicles. The common theme is that MasterCraft Safety is the first choice in environments where safety can mean the difference between life and death. MasterCraft Safety’s full-line of performance seating offers both comfort and protection in high “G” load situations and provides an 84% reduction of energy in a 50 G load impact.
