WIX Filters has become a major associate sponsor of two-time NHRA Funny Car Champion Cruz Pedregon for the 2015 Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season.
Pedregon’s record-setting Toyota Camry will don WIX’s colors and iconic logo for all 24 races this season.
“I’ve spent my entire life with cars and racing and I trust WIX and its products on and off the racetrack,” Pedregon said. “With a strong 75-year history, WIX continues to stand for exceptional quality and performance, making it a perfect partnership for me and my team.”
The Mello Yello Drag Racing Series kicked off Feb. 5 in Pomona, Calif., and runs through 23 races leading up to the finals Nov. 12-15.
“We are excited to be partnering with Cruz Pedregon for the 2015 NHRA season,” said Jennifer Gibson, brand manager for WIX Filters. “Mello Yello is the NHRA’s top-performing series, adding even more excitement for the WIX brand. We wish Cruz the best of luck this season.”
