Daytona Beach, FL (February 9, 2022) – National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, LLC (NASCAR®) announced today an official partnership with Stepp’s Towing Service, Inc., a Florida-based company that has been designated the Official Track Recovery Service Partner of NASCAR.
Stepp’s Towing Service will provide towing and wrecker vehicles for a majority of NASCAR Cup Series™, NASCAR Xfinity Series™, and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series™ events.

Founded in 1960, Stepp’s Towing Service began as a single tow truck operation and has grown to offer a multitude of services including towing, heavy transport, environmental response, and auto salvage.
“We are extremely excited and proud to be an Official Partner and the designated Official Track Recovery Service Partner of NASCAR,” said Todd Stepp, President and CEO of Stepp’s Towing Service, Inc. “With over 60 years of experience providing top-quality towing, heavy transport and recovery services in the state of Florida, we are fully committed and prepared to deliver that same level of service on a national basis across the NASCAR national series with a highly proficient, well-trained and dedicated team of towing professionals.”
