Nashville, TENN - The Tennessee Titans' seven-time Pro Bowl Mascot, T-Rac, can now be seen riding a brand new chariot, courtesy of Nashville Auto Diesel College (NADC). In addition to the chariot, NADC also created a motorcycle side car, a large seven-foot drum and a motorized T-Rac mobile for T-Rac's gameday adventures.
"We are a little scared of what T-Rac can think up," said Tommy Curtis, Director of Collision Repair and High Performance Programs for NADC, "but if he can think it, we can build it."
And they did just that, bringing T-Rac's imaginative fleet of motorized props to life. The lead builder of the Chariot was David Cline, an instructor at NADC. Cline calls the experience "challenging and rewarding" and says " he is so pleased to have contributed to T-Rac's antics."
T-Rac's new chariot was unveiled November 15 at the Buffalo Bills game. T-Rac zip-lined off the lights high above LP Field and jumped onto his new ride. The Chariot was built on a Yamaha Golf Cart, courtesy of Boswells Golf Cars, and fitted with 22 inch rims courtesy of Brian's Motorsports.

The Titans presented Curtis, Cline and the entire staff of NADC with an autographed Titans football and helmet for all of their hard work and contribution to the Tennessee Titans gameday entertainment.
Two Titans cheerleaders – Danielle and Brooke – accompanied T-Rac to the presentation
"The craftsmanship was amazing," Danielle said. "I was very impressed by the new chariot. You can tell they take great pride in their work."
T-Rac could not be reached for comment but his chariot has been seen all over town, especially up and down Broadway in Nashville.
"I want to thank everyone at Nashville Auto Diesel College," said Titans Executive Vice President of Administration and Facilities, Don MacLachlan. "The new chariot and props are wonderful and will be an integral part of T-Rac's gameday and community appearances."
