Schaeffler, a pioneering force in the field of motion technology, gears up for a full weekend of events at the NHRA title race in Norwalk, Ohio, from June 27-30. 

Building on a legacy of innovation and performance, Schaeffler proudly continues the sponsorship of professional racer Blake Alexander for the third consecutive year. 

As the title race approaches, Schaeffler stands behind Alexander, whose driving skills and partnership with Pronto Automotive Parts have led him to success throughout the season. Alexander is the only driver to have won in both the Top Fuel and Funny Car categories at the Norwalk event. 

Fans can expect to see Schaeffler’s famous green branding around Alexander’s fully wrapped car for the first time this race season. The Schaeffler branding will also be prominent on Alexander’s helmet and flame suit as the official sponsor.

Mirrors own commitment

“Blake Alexander’s journey in motorsports mirrors our own commitment to pushing boundaries and achieving greatness,” said Jerry Conroy, Vice President Vehicle Lifetime Solutions, North America at Schaeffler. “As we prepare for the NHRA title race, we’re not only excited to support Blake but also to engage with fans and employees and experience the competitive world of motorsports.” 

“It is an honour to display the Schaeffler green in the United States again for a third season,” said Blake Alexander. “We centre our NHRA race promotions around these 12,000 horsepower machines and the people who use the Schaeffler, LUK, and INA automotive parts. I pride myself in connecting with the technicians and shop owners alike who use Schaeffler products daily. Adding Schaeffler’s quality parts and innovation to our team has helped us immensely and I am excited to chase another win with Schaeffler at Norwalk.”

Leading up to and during the race weekend, Schaeffler will celebrate its employees through company events and by providing exclusive access to the race.
