Penske Racing Shocks Partners with PDRA in 2015

PITTSBORO, N.C. February 17, 2015: Penske Racing Shocks has joined the growing list of PDRA contingency sponsors for the quickly-approaching 2015 season. A world leader in suspension technology, Penske Racing Shocks has been a manufacturer of high-end suspension components for the drag racing industry for several years through their Precision Racing Suspension division.

Penske Racing Shocks Drag Racing Representative, Shane Sweigart, stated, “We are happy to be partnering with Precision Racing Suspension as a contingency sponsor of the PDRA. Penske Racing Shocks or Precision Racing Suspension will have representatives present at all events to assist with sales and technical inquiries. Together, we will be able to bring PDRA racers the best possible suspension components and technical support available.”
 

“As the former drag market manager at Penske Racing Shocks, I’ve experienced first-hand the dedication Penske puts forth in supporting their racers, and together we look forward to further developing relationships with racers in the PDRA”, added Adam Lambert of Precision Racing Suspension. “Currently owning every suspended and ET speed record is just a preview of what we will be able to offer racers in the PDRA!”

Racers in the Professional Drag Racers Association rely on the highest quality parts to achieve speeds of over 220 MPH in just 3.5 seconds and 660 feet of track. Penske will be posting contingency in Pro Extreme, Pro Nitrous and Top Sportsman.

"The PDRA is extremely happy to announce that Penske Racing Shocks has joined us as a new marketing partner this season,” relayed the PDRA’s Mike Congdon. "Penske's wide range of parts, custom components, and technical support will be a huge benefit to our racers since handling is such an important part of making these high-horsepower machines go down the track."
