The Pingel NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle Series will take place at four events in 2024, beginning with the NHRA\u2019s national event at Route 66 Raceway in Chicago. Pingel has been a key partner for top riders in drag racing\u2019s motorcycle ranks, including Larry \u201cSpiderman\u201d McBride, who set the record for the fastest motorcycle pass in drag racing history at the NHRA national event in 2022 at Virginia Motorsports Park.<\/p>\n
McBride and a variety of standout competitors will deliver edge-of-your-seat action at incredible speeds at four NHRA national events and Pingel is thrilled to be the title sponsor in the category.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis class is loaded with incredible riders who put on one of the most exciting shows in drag racing and we\u2019re proud to be title sponsors of the Pingel NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle Series,\u201d Pingel Owners Wayne and Donna Pingel said. \u201cOur goal for nearly 60 years has been providing the best parts for better performance on the dragstrip, and we can\u2019t wait to see what these riders and race teams have in store for NHRA fans during the upcoming season.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following the season-opening race in Chicago, the Pingel NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle Series will entertain fans at NHRA national events at Virginia Motorsports Park in Richmond (June 22-23), Brainerd International Raceway (Aug. 16-18) and the finale at zMAX Dragway in Charlotte on Sept. 20-22. The category will receive final-round coverage on FS1 at each of the four stops, while Pingel will get on-site exposure at NHRA events with displays, announcements and Sunoco-vision. Riders will also be involved in autograph sessions at each of their four events.<\/p>\n
Featuring stars like McBride, the class is a nonstop thrill ride, with riders reaching speeds of more than 260 mph, running the quarter-mile in less than six seconds.
