HendrickCars.com To Support Three Champs At Charlotte 4-Wide
Written by I Dig Sports
BROWNSBURG, Ind. As part of its hometown race, HendrickCars.com will sponsor world champions in all three professional categories during the 15th NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at zMAX Dragway April 25-27.
Already the principal sponsor of six-time and reigning NHRA Pro Stock Champion Greg Andersons Chevrolet and, for the last two years, the Charlotte sponsor of two-time Top Fuel champion Brittany Forces dragster, HendrickCars.com also will be the primary next week on the JFR Chevrolet SS driven by 2012 Funny Car champion Fast Jack Beckman.
In addition to taking a star turn at the Charlotte events, HendrickCars.com has a season-long presence with JFR as an associate sponsor on Beckmans Chevy and as a major associate on Brittanys dragster and the national record-holding Chevy of reigning Funny Car champion Austin Prock.
As the online home of Charlotte-based Hendrick Automotive Group, HendrickCars.com also sponsors the No. 5 Chevrolet of Kyle Larson in the NASCAR Cup Series, the No. 17 Chevrolet in the Xfinity Series and the No. 71 Chevrolet Silverado of Rajah Caruth in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
I cannot wait to get the HendrickCars.com Funny Car out there in Charlotte, winner of John Force Racings 300th Funny Car victory in Pomona, Jack Beckman said. I had a great conversation with Rick Hendrick after we won Pomona. First off, I was so impressed that he took the time to call and congratulate me and the team for our win, and secondly, were both car guys.
You know he drove NASCAR out at Riverside. Im looking forward to sharing some stories with him. Hes had drag boats and been involved in drag racing for many years. This stuff is in his DNA.
What you find out is, car people are car people, Beckman continued. When you boil it down, we all are cut from the same cloth. Getting to represent him is a huge honor; getting to hang out with him is going to be a lot of fun.
Excited to have HendrickCars.com back on board as a major sponsor in Charlotte, 16-time Funny Car champion John Force said. Rick Hendrick is a good man, and he loves his racing.
Just like last year Brittany will be in the HendrickCars.com Top Fuel car but this time well have two cars flying the Hendrick name as Im excited that Jack Beckman will be in a HendrickCars.com Funny Car.
I love to see Rick Hendrick back on board in Charlotte, and I hope hes able to bring his family out with him. Were proud to represent HendrickCars.com in their hometown alongside Greg Anderson in Pro Stock, and well be focused on celebrating three wins with Mr. H next weekend.
