Competition Clutch Sponsors Ford Drift Invitational At NMRA Opener
Santa Ana, California [February 18, 2023] — Kicking off its 25th Anniversary season, the Holley NMRA Ford Nationals series is bringing more excitement to its season opener with more tire smoke by adding the Ford Drift Invitational. Supporting that move, Competition Clutch joins as the sponsor of the first-time event, which will take full advantage of the drift pad at Orlando Speed World, host of the Spring Break Shootout held from March 2-5.
"We’re thrilled to support NMRA and the inaugural Ford Drift Invitational at the season-opening event in Orlando," Chris Jewell, President & Chief Executive Officer at Competition Clutch, said. "As a proud partner with RTR Vehicles and Vaughn Gittin Jr., it’s only natural that we support tire-slaying Fords that need high-performance clutches.”
Leveraging the full capabilities of Orlando Speed World drift pad allows for complementing NMRA’s drag racing, car show, and manufacturer’s midway with non-stop tire-shredding action by Ford-powered and Ford-bodied drift machines. On Saturday, the pad will also see tire-shredding action from Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his Team RTR lead driver in the Formula Drift series, Chelsea Denofa.
“Today’s enthusiasts want non-stop action, and that’s just what we are delivering to kick off our silver-anniversary season,” Steve Wolcott, President and CEO of NMRA, said. “Within hours of announcing the Ford Drift Invitational, we were swamped with potential entries, so fans will see a lot of tire smoke in Orlando. With Competition Clutch being a supplier for RTR Vehicles, it was a natural fit to have them take on the sponsorship for this category. We are excited to have them onboard as part of this exciting new feature.”
