STOW, OHIO - Feb 9, 2018: With drag racing in its DNA, it's no surprise that Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels is back as a major event sponsor of the 2018 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series.

"Drag racing is an important part of what we do, and who we are," said Ken Warner, vice president of marketing, Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels. "We offer a complete line of competition tires for racers on two and four wheels, and we certainly don't plan on slowing down anytime soon."

The company will continue its role as a contingency sponsor for all NHRA Sportsman racing classes, as well as Pro Mod and Pro Stock Motorcycle, and is title sponsor of the 10-event Mickey Thompson Tires Top Fuel Harley Drag Racing Series.

Mickey Thompson will also serve as a Divisional Level Associate Contingency Sponsor of the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series in all Sportsman classes and will support NHRA racers through the popular Team M/T program.

In addition to sponsoring champions Dan Fletcher and Luke Bogacki, the company plans to attend all national events with the fully equipped Mickey Thompson trailer to provide trackside support to racers throughout the 2018 season.
