This weekend at the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at zMax Dragway, Alex Laughlin will unveil a thrilling new partnership with Vaughn Gittin Jr.\u2019s lifestyle and automotive parts brand, Fun-Haver, for his Pro Mod program. The collaboration marks a significant moment for Laughlin, who has previously teamed up with iconic brands like Hot Wheels, Havoline, Gas Monkey, and Dixxon Flannel.<\/p>\n

Laughlin expressed his excitement about the partnership, emphasizing the shared passion for high-octane culture. \u201cIt\u2019s always a thrill to introduce new brands to the world of drag racing\u2014especially when they\u2019re as exciting and culturally impactful as Fun-Haver,\u201d he said. \u201cDrag racing is my passion, but what truly fuels me is the opportunity to build relationships with like-minded individuals and brands who share the same love for high-octane culture. It\u2019s always been about having fun\u2014because if you\u2019re not enjoying it, it\u2019s just too much hard work to be worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cAlex is a true to the core Fun-Haver,\u201d said Vaughn Gittin Jr., founder of Fun-Haver. \u201cEvery time I have had the opportunity to hang with Alex or see him out, he has no trouble finding the fun in anything he does on and off the track. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that he drives a 3,000-plus horsepower drag car on the track! We are pumped to be working with him and look forward to him having a very fun weekend putting smiles on all the NHRA fans\u2019 faces!\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership with Fun-Haver coincides with significant updates to Laughlin\u2019s Pro Mod program. For the first time in the 2025 season, Laughlin will race with Mike Janis and his team fully integrated into the operation. The collaboration began taking shape before the season, but a four-week break after the Gainesville and Phoenix races allowed the Janis crew to convert Laughlin\u2019s car to work seamlessly with their equipment in New York. \u201cWhen I asked Mike Janis Jr. what he needed from me, he said, \u2018Just your car, a third member, a driveshaft\u2014and we\u2019ll take care of the rest,\u2019\u201d Laughlin recalled. \u201cThat kind of confidence and support made the decision even easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The move comes at a pivotal time for Laughlin, who has been juggling a demanding schedule. \u201cThe so-called \u2018offseason\u2019 was anything but,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe were traveling constantly for the Drag Illustrated Winter Series, and I was working on the car non-stop, seven days a week, with barely a moment to catch my breath.\u201d With family businesses growing, a new venture launching, and a baby due in July, the partnership with Janis allows Laughlin to focus on competing at the highest level while balancing personal commitments.<\/p>\n

Laughlin also took a moment to acknowledge the support of Brandon Pesz and PJS Racing Engines over the past year and a half. \u201cWe\u2019ve still got three PJS Hemi engines and two Corvettes prepped and ready for some local radial events this season, so stay tuned,\u201d he teased.<\/p>\n

As Laughlin gears up for the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals, the unveiling of the Fun-Haver-branded Pro Mod car promises to be a highlight of the weekend. Fans can expect a high-energy performance both on and off the track, with Laughlin embodying the Fun-Haver ethos of living life to the fullest.
