Buffalo Turbine set to continue as Official Track Blower of NHRA with Long-Term Extension

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – April 23, 2025 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – NHRA and Buffalo Turbine officials announced today that Buffalo Turbine will continue as the “Official Track Blower of NHRA” as part of a long-term extension.

The partnership between NHRA and Buffalo Turbine dates back to 2010, as the two companies continue to work closely together. As part of the long-term extension, the Simpson NHRA Safety Safari will continue using a dedicated fleet of 13 Buffalo Turbine debris blowers at all NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series national events.

The high-quality equipment plays a critical role in track preparation and safety, helping remove track debris and moisture with the company’s legendary turbine force air power.

“We are proud to continue our longstanding relationship with NHRA and help continue safety operations at national event tracks,” said Buffalo Turbine Sales Manager, Guy Gabbey. “With our wide range of debris blowers, we strive to be as fast as the action on the track.”

Buffalo Turbine, which is based in Springville, N.Y., has been an industry leader since 1945 and manufactures every blower in the United States. With a strong track record at NHRA national events for more than 15 years, Buffalo Turbine is known for unmatched performance across motorsports, construction, commercial grounds keeping and municipal operations.

“We’re thrilled to have a great partner like Buffalo Turbine continue in their pivotal role as ‘Official Track Blower of NHRA,’” NHRA Vice President and Chief Development Officer Brad Gerber said. “Their products lead the way when it comes to quality, innovation and reliability, and it’s a major reason why Buffalo Turbine has been an outstanding partner for so many years. We look forward to a bright future with them.”
