Speedmaster, the global leader in high-performance automotive parts and motorsports culture, has increased its partnership to full primary sponsorship of John Force Racing\u2019s Top Fuel Dragster team driven by Josh Hart in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series.<\/p>\n
Speedmaster was announced as a co-primary partner with Hart\u2019s Burnyzz Speed Shop on Jan. 28 of this year. Both Speedmaster and Burnyzz Speed Shop will continue to have brand identification on all four of John Force Racing\u2019s teams throughout the year.<\/p>\n
The Speedmaster Top Fuel Dragster will make its debut April 10-12 at the NHRA Winternationals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never had a sponsor contribute so much so fast,\u201d said Hart. \u201cThe partnership is beyond just parts and sponsorship for the race car. We quickly became friends. We quickly understand each other\u2019s businesses. Jason\u2019s been great. The whole Speedmaster team has really been kind of rallying behind this. He mentioned to me that this is a lifelong dream of his to be a primary sponsor on a Top Fuel car with John Force Racing. The fact that we were able to collaborate and put it together as quickly as we did is absolutely epic. Speedmaster stepping into the primary spot alleviates some pressure on me, puts them in the spotlight, which is what they deserve and, hopefully, it\u2019s a long-term partnership for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hart won the 2026 NHRA season-opening Gatornationals on March 8 in his John Force Racing debut. A second-round finish two weeks later at the Arizona Nationals finds the team second in the point standings heading into the Winternationals.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though we went out in the second round at Arizona, I think, as of right now, I may have already eclipsed all of my round wins from last year already this year,\u201d Hart said.\u00a0\u201cSo, for me, this early season has been very positive. There\u2019s a lot of momentum, a lot of excitement. The track was hot in Arizona so we can\u2019t beat everybody up over that. And we know that the conditions in Pomona are always good. So, I\u2019m very confident. I think we\u2019ll be right there in the Top 5 as far as qualifying goes, which will change our stars on race day. And we\u2019ll get this Speedmaster team right back in line.\u201d<\/p>\n
Overall, John Force Racing drivers have won 32 times in three events at In-N-Out Pomona Dragstrip (17 times in the Winternationals, 14 times in the Finals plus John Force\u2019s win in the 50th\u00a0Anniversary NHRA Nationals in 2001).<\/p>\n
