"Lucas Oil Products is proud to be partnering with PDRA. Lucas Oil takes pride in making problem solving additives as well as racing motor oils. I am looking forward to 2016. Top Dragster is an exciting class, and Lucas Oil manufactures racing oils that are well suited to the high demands these race engines, transmissions, and rear differentials require. We are looking forward to seeing many racers in PDRA's winner circle this year using Lucas Oil." - Tom Bogner, Lucas Oil Products - Director of Motorsports

Outlaw 10.5 will be contested at three events this season thanks to sponsor DiSomma Racing Engines.

NAPA Auto Parts has also joined the PDRA as a promotional partner for select events.

A major hit with fans, the Quarter-Max Top End and Starting Line Zones will return again in 2016 on the PDRA Live Feed by MotorManiaTV.com.

Returning partners include VP Racing Fuels as the Official Racing Fuel, Hoosier Racing Tire as the Official Racing Tire, Flying A Motorsports as the Official Motorhome, Toterhome, Trailer and Truck Dealer, Pilot/Flying J as the Official Fuel Stop, and Diamond Pistons as the Official Pistons.

“The support of these tremendous companies continues to raise the professionalism of this series and helps us in our goal of giving the best value to our racers,” stated PDRA Race Director Bob Harris. “We are very proud to have them on board as we enter our third season. It is a great honor to build a lasting legacy in the PDRA with these companies. Together we make professional eighth-mile racing great.”
