Lucas Oil Products, an organization providing high-performance automotive additives and lubricants, officially extended its long-term agreement to remain the title sponsor of Indianapolis Raceway Park, National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) officials announced on Dec. 13.
NHRA Vice President of Track Management and Operations Kasey Coler said the association is delighted about the extension.
“We are thrilled to continue this relationship with Lucas Oil Products,” Coler said.
The continuation solidifies Lucas Oil’s position in the branding and future of the historic racing venue.
Coler said the NHRA’s dedication to excellence “aligns perfectly with the standards and legacy of Indianapolis Raceway Park.”
Indianapolis Raceway Park is a premier facility for drag racing and other automotive events just west of downtown Indianapolis.
Director of Partnership Marketing for Lucas Oil Brandon Bernstein celebrated the title sponsorship.
“It has been a huge thrill for Lucas Oil to be the title sponsor of an iconic track like Indianapolis Raceway Park for so many years, and we’re proud to announce this new, long-term extension,” Bernstein said. “This has been a tremendous relationship, and it means a great deal for Lucas Oil to be associated with the track and all of the amazing events that take place there.”
As the home of the NHRA U.S. Nationals, one of the world’s most prestigious drag racing events, Indianapolis Raceway Park draws thousands of fans and participants annually. The company opens its new global headquarters in the fall of 2024 on Indianapolis’ north side.
Bernstein said the future of the park looks “incredibly bright.”
While financial details of the agreement were not disclosed, this renewal strengthens the long-standing relationship between Lucas Oil and the NHRA.
“With new plans in place that will keep Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park as one of the premier motorsports and NHRA drag racing facilities in the country,” Bernstein said.
