Dennis Setzer will drive the new E85-numbered Chevy Silverado for Morgan-Dollar Motorsports in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS). The truck, with a brand-new paint scheme, was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show as part of a new GM E85 ethanol marketing and advertising campaign: Live Green Go Yellow (LiveGreenGoYellow.com).

GM announced its support of the NCTS in the 2006 season on Monday with the title sponsorship of the first GM FlexFuel 250, to be held Feb. 17 at Daytona International Speedway. The Morgan-Dollar Silverado will help promote E85 use and showcase GM’s E85 ethanol FlexFuel vehicle leadership to loyal NASCAR fans throughout the year.

“There are thousands of E85 Silverado trucks already on the road and thousands more coming this year,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. “With the driving talent of Dennis Setzer carrying the banner, we will educate consumers about the benefits of Live Green Go Yellow, all while taking the checkered flag, too.”
