GLENDORA, Calif. (Jan. 22, 2018) – SealMaster, a global leader in the manufacturing and distribution of pavement maintenance products and equipment, has been named the official pavement products and equipment supplier of NHRA. The partnership continues to build upon the successful involvement with the sport of NHRA championship drag racing, including Kalitta Motorsports.
SealMaster is now in its fifth year of headlining the popular NHRA Track Walk that takes place at each NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series event. During the SealMaster NHRA Track Walk, NHRA drivers and legends of the sport lead spectators on a round-trip tour of the dragstrip, from the starting line to the finish line and back.
“The association with NHRA and SealMaster has been mutually beneficial and we are excited to extend our partnership,” said Brad Gerber, NHRA vice president and chief development officer. “Their dedication and passion for NHRA Drag is a boon to the sport.”
SealMaster will also increase its involvement with NHRA facilities across the country during upgrade projects.
“Continuing to enhance our venues for NHRA events is key to the experience of our dedicated fans,” said Kasey Coler, NHRA Vice President Track Management and Operations. “SealMaster pavement maintenance products and equipment will be a benefit to the continuing upgrades to our NHRA facilities.”
“The SealMaster Track Walk is a great way to connect with NHRA fans,” said Debbie Hufford, the company’s communications director. “It’s a good fit given who we are. Just as a drag strip must be consistently and carefully maintained, albeit much differently, so must the world’s pavement. Asphalt is a valuable, sustainable, capital asset and we exist to preserve and protect it to extends its useful life well into the future.”
