RFK Racing’s Show Car Division
How RFK Racing uses Trimble CoPilot’s dimension-aware routing to help its show car division safely navigate new routes across the US.
About RFK Racing
RFK Racing fields three NASCAR Cup Series cars driven by Brad Keselowski, Ryan Preece and Chris Buescher. Beyond the speedway, the team’s show car division brings display vehicles directly to dealerships, corporate events and fan festivals in cities where the Cup Series does not run. Led by driver Mint Moore III, the division moves across the US using specialized rigs. These range from a Ford F-450 dually with a 28-foot single-car trailer to a 43-foot two-car hauler. RFK relies on commercial precision to meet passionate fans nationwide and deliver its brand promise off the track.
The challenge
When every destination is a new city
Unlike race haulers returning to the same speedways year after year, RFK’s show car division navigates entirely new cities every week. Pulling oversized rigs through unfamiliar territory presents hazards consumer navigation tools cannot detect, including low-clearance bridges, restricted-weight roads and narrow streets requiring wide turning radiuses.
Pre-trip planning only goes so far when real-world disruptions strike. Temporary road closures force real-time rerouting, and passenger-car GPS apps are unable to provide reliable alternatives for commercial vehicle hazards.
RFK Racing needed an adaptive, commercial-grade navigation solution to ensure their show vehicles arrive safely and on time without risking costly delays or equipment damage.
The solution
How CoPilot solves the last-mile puzzle
RFK Racing integrated Trimble CoPilot directly into the show car division's in-cab tablets. CoPilot calculates precise, legal routes based on the exact height, length, width and weight of Moore’s specific haulers. The app clearly flags non-truck routes and potential hazards like low bridges and sharp turns. Live traffic data, custom pinpoints and hand-checked commercial location data provide complete situational awareness on a single screen.
When sudden detours occur, one touch zooms out to display pre-planned alternate routes, giving drivers instant visibility into safe options. Combined with in-cab safety alerts and smart parking features, CoPilot provides the real-time flexibility required for unpredictable urban routes.
The results
Proven safety and predictability on every trip
By replacing unpredictable consumer routing with Trimble CoPilot's commercial precision, RFK Racing transformed its show car logistics from a high-stress challenge into a seamless operation.
- Zero clearance incidents: Dimension-aware navigation completely eliminates low-bridge and restricted-route risks.
- Instant rerouting: One-touch route overview allows drivers to execute Plan B safely during unexpected road closures.
- On-time event delivery: Show cars arrive predictably on schedule for corporate partners, dealerships and fan events.
- Reduced driver stress: In-cab tablet integration lets drivers focus on defensive driving rather than road restrictions.
