Chevrolet Performance Title Sponsor NHRA’s U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway
July 3, 2013
Chevrolet Performance has sealed a multi-year deal to get the title sponsorship rights to the U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway which features on the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series.
“The heart and soul of Chevrolet Performance is on display in the staging lanes at the U.S. Nationals, sale making this partnership with one of the most historic races in NHRA Drag Racing all the more important,” said Jim Campbell, General Motors U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports.
“Our engineers are continually developing new engines and engine components for sportsman and professional racers; and events like the U.S Nationals are their proving ground.”
The NHRA U.S. Nationals are traditionally held on Labor Day weekend in Indianapolis from August 28 to September 2 this year.
The pairing is not much of a surprise as General Motors and its brands have been involved with the NHRA since its beginning, and Chevrolet won its first NHRA Manufacturers Cup in 1966. Since then, GM brands have held that title a record 43 times.
