As the Official Fuel of the NHRA, Sunoco Racing Fuels provide the juice to make the fastest racers on Earth collect win lights.  As a partner of Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School, Sunoco gives new racers the opportunity to feel the power of the most utilized fuel in American motorsports.  The Pennsylvania based company has a 40-year track record of innovation and winning performances, and distributes gasoline to more than 500 race tracks and 50 racing series in the United States.

Rick Williams, the operations manager and managing partner of Southern Racing Fuels, handles Sunoco’s racing accounts for all of Florida and the Caribbean and has been a distributor of the brand for nearly 30 years said,  “The School provides a great opportunity for us to promote our racing fuels to both new and experienced drivers across the country.”

“Sunoco Racing Fuels provide our customers with power and consistency at our School.  We enjoy the relationship with Sunoco and Rick Williams at Southern Racing Fuels.  They are great to work with.” said Hawley.

Many of America’s top motorsports and automotive brands partner with Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School.  For Sunoco, the School’s ability to promote them, through its events and press releases, has been a strong selling point throughout the relationship.

“The School does an excellent job of promoting our product and our brand,” Williams said.  “With the support that we get and the press releases Frank and Lana do, they are on top of it.  Through their marketing people, we get their releases, we see the information going out and it’s shared with Sunoco corporate in Pennsylvania and they love it.”

We plan to get some of the Sunoco executives to come and spend a day and strap them into one of those hot rods and send them down the strip.  I know they’d love it!” said Williams.

Justin Ashley’s incredible rookie season just keeps getting better and better.  At last weekend’s Lucas Oil Nationals in Brainerd Minnesota, Justin defeated number 1 qualifier Gord Gringles in the final round with a low ET of the event 5.237. For those keeping score, Justin has won 2 of the 3 finals that he has been in this year. “It’s been a dream season so far and I know that I am very blessed. Even though I had gotten licensed last year, I went back to Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School for some more instruction earlier this year. I spent 2 days driving Frank’s Top Dragster and I can’t tell you how much it helped me. I actually ended up winning my first National Event at the Gatornationals a couple of weeks later! There are a lot of distractions at the races but Frank has taught me how to block them out and be better focused and mentally prepared, and that’s a big part of our success.” said Justin Ashley.

Justin’s father Mike Ashley had this to say. “I was a very successful driver for many years and I didn’t even trust myself to teach Justin. I am a father and love my son and only wanted what was best for him. Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School was the only choice in my opinion. Some people may not know this but Justin had never driven a race car before he went to Frank’s school. I have always said that success comes when preparation meets opportunity. We have a great team with Randy Meyer but I am 100% sure that without Frank’s impact on Justin’s mental and physical state, these victories wouldn’t have been possible!

“Having worked with Justin’s dad Mike for several years, I was very happy to work with Justin when Mike called.  In fact Mike was responsible for my opportunity to get back in the seat of a Nitro Funny Car a few years ago.  Justin’s a very bright and highly motivated person, a lot like his dad.  I think we’ll be hearing more from the Ashley family in the future.” said Frank Hawley.

Justin Ashley’s next race will be at the famed US Nationals Aug 30-September 4th.

Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School and Mickey Thompson Tires have been creating memories together for many years and their event on July 19th at the famed Summit Motorsports Park was no different.

Under beautiful skies, Mickey Thompson pitted some of their best employees and customers against each other in a 10 second, 130 mph battle to the finish line.

Kirk Fenn, MT National Accounts and Business Development, had this to say about the event, “Our employees and customers were jumping out of the cars with grins of excitement, especially our VP of Sales, Perry Lease”.

At the end of the day there was only one person left standing and that was Mark Klacik from Cyclone Auto.  “Participating in the Dragster Challenge is as exhilarating as when I scuba dive with sharks!”  “If you listen to Frank closely and follow what he says, you too could win.”

“We have been relying on the high quality and consistent performance of Mickey Thompson Drag slicks for all our race cars for many years now”.  “As the biggest drag racing school in the country we travel to a lot of different locations and we see all types of track surfaces and temperatures.” “We know we can rely on Mickey Thompson slicks to give us the traction, durability and safety for all our students”, says Frank Hawley.

Contact us about a fun day for your group!  The Dragster Adventure Challenge is AWESOME for groups – team building, employee reward, customer promotion, sponsor day, etc.  Call Jeff Arend x103 or Paul Shields x102 at 866-480-7223 to discuss providing a most memorable day for your group!  Read about all the programs on our website and see what class dates are coming up!  Private group events are scheduled on demand, as are the 200 mph class dates in the Funny Car or Dragster.
