Pingel - NHRA Top Fuel Title Sponsor
Long-time drag race and street performance specialist Pingel Enterprise has signed-on as title sponsor for the NHRA's Top Fuel Motorcycle Series.
The Adams, Wisconsin based go-fast fanatics Donna and Wayne Pingel are quoted as saying: "This class is loaded with incredible riders who put on one of the most exciting shows in drag racing and we're proud to be title sponsors. Our goal for nearly 60 years has been providing the best parts for better performance on the dragstrip, and we can't wait to see what these riders and race teams have in store for NHRA fans during the upcoming season."
The Pingel NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle Series will make four appearances during the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season, beginning with the NHRA's national event at Route 66 Raceway in Chicago.
Pingel has been a key partner for top riders in drag racing's motorcycle ranks, including Larry "Spiderman" McBride, who set the record for the fastest motorcycle pass in drag racing history at the NHRA national event in 2022 at Virginia Motorsports Park.
McBride and a variety of standout competitors will deliver edge-of-your-seat action at incredible speeds at all four of the NHRA national events to feature the Pingel NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle Series.
After the Chicago season opener, the series will visit the Virginia Motorsports Park in Richmond (June 22-23), Brainerd International Raceway (Aug. 16-18) and the finale at zMAX Dragway in Charlotte on Sept. 20-22.

The category will receive final-round coverage on FS1 at each of the four stops, while Pingel will get on-site exposure at NHRA events with displays, announcements and Sunoco-vision. Riders will also be involved in autograph sessions at each of their four events.
Riders will reach speeds of more than 260 mph, running the quarter mile in less than six seconds. Two years ago, McBride went 268.38 mph at his home track in Virginia, shattering his previous record, while also going a remarkable 5.61 seconds.
Pingel has been a popular manufacturer and distributor of motorcycle parts for the street and dragstrip since 1967, boasting a wealth of experience and success - the Pingel electric speed shifters are among the most famous aftermarket performance products ever offered.
