CJ Pony Parts Energizes NMRA’s Truck & Lightning As Class Sponsor

 

On any given race weekend, you will see a wide array of Blue Oval muscle machines roaring down the racetrack, but only one class is dedicated to Ford’s powerful pickups. For the 2023 season, CJ Pony Parts signed on to support these multipurpose machines as the sponsor for the Truck & Lightning class.

 

“CJ Pony Parts is a strong brand in the Ford world with an impressive track record of supporting enthusiasts, like longtime class competitor Bob Cochran, and the events they love,” Steve Wolcott, President and CEO of NMRA, said. “With the company’s wide range of offerings for Ford trucks, it is a natural fit as the sponsor for the Truck & Lightning category for our silver-anniversary season.”

 

The CJ Pony Parts Truck & Lightning class is designed for any year, make, and model Ford trucks powered by Ford engines only. In addition to pickups, SUVs — including Explorers, Expeditions, Excursions, etc. — can run. The Truck & Lightning class runs on an Open Comp format with a 1-tenth breakout.

 

After kicking off the season in Orlando at the 29th Annual Spring Break Shootout from March 2-5, 2023, NMRA joins forces with NMCA for the 15th Annual NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals at Rockingham Dragway for the second time from April 13-16. The dual event theme continues as both series will run together for the 18th time at the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl of Muscle Car Drag Racing in Madison, Illinois, from May 4-7. From June 8-11, the storied 23rd Annual NMRA Ford Homecoming returns to Norwalk, Ohio. Then the two series combine again in Martin, Michigan, at the 3rd Annual NMRA/NMCA Power Festival from July 20-23. Finally, the season wraps up with the Ford event of the year, as the 24th Annual NMRA World Finals + Holley Ford Fest heads to Bowling Green, Kentucky from September 28 through October 1. 

 

With a mix of championship drag racing, index classes, street-car action, a huge car show, and a massive manufacturer’s midway, the Holley NMRA Ford Nationals offers must-see events for Ford fans across the country. For more information about the Holley NMRA Ford Nationals series, visit NMRAdigital.com
