“I’ve spent my entire life with cars and racing and I trust WIX and its products on and off the racetrack,” Pedregon said. “With a strong 75-year history, WIX continues to stand for exceptional quality and performance, making it a perfect partnership for me and my team.”
The Mello Yello Drag Racing Series kicks off on February 5, 2015 in Pomona, California, and runs through 23 races leading up to the finals November 12-15.
“We are excited to be partnering with Cruz Pedregon for the 2015 NHRA season,” said Jennifer Gibson, brand manager for WIX Filters. “Mello Yello is the NHRA’s top-performing series, adding even more excitement for the WIX brand. We wish Cruz the best of luck this season.”
