AB Motorsports announced today that Autoland Outlets will join the team as an official partner for the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season, aligning with four-time Top Fuel world champion Antron Brown and the AB Motorsports organization, including the AB Motorsports Accelerate Program.
A leading automotive dealer specializing in specialty pick-up trucks and commercial vehicles, Autoland Outlets brings long-standing ties to the drag racing community. This partnership deepens Autoland Outlets’ roots in the sport and marks the dealership’s return to the professional stage of the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series alongside Brown, one of the most accomplished and respected names in the sport.
“Drag racing is at the core of who we are at Autoland Outlets. From supporting local racing at our home track of Byron Dragway to backing big-money bracket programs across the country, like the popular Autoland Outlets Big Money Bracket Racing Contingency Program and title sponsor of the Autoland Door Car Challenge, we believe in investing in this sport at every level,” B.J. Vangsness, President of Autoland Outlets, said. “Partnering with Antron and AB Motorsports for the 2026 NHRA Mission Drag Racing Series is a natural next step for us. Antron has so much energy and passion for the sport — his values align perfectly with our dealership.”
The partnership strengthens AB Motorsports’ lineup heading into NHRA’s 75th Anniversary season in 2026. Brown, recently named to NHRA’s Top 75 Drivers list, enters the year with 81 career NHRA national event wins and a continued pursuit of championship success in Top Fuel.
“I’m excited to welcome Autoland Outlets to the AB Motorsports family for the 2026 season,” Brown said. “It means a lot to partner with a company that truly understands drag racing. Their commitment to racers and race fans shows they’re not just sponsors — they’re part of the racing community.”
The 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season begins March 5–8 at the NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida, where Brown will pursue his fifth championship title in Top Fuel.
