ARANA JR. RETURNING FOR FULL SEASON IN 2023 WITH BACKING FROM GETTRX, POWERED BY GLOBAL ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.

 

 

Hector Arana Jr. definitely made the most of his limited 2022 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle schedule.

Competing in only seven of the season's 15 races, Arana Jr. had wins in Dallas and Las Vegas and finished 11th in the points standings on his Buell.

Now, he's being rewarded for it. 

On Monday, March 6, the fastest name in credit card processing, GETTRX, powered by Global Electronic Technology, Inc., announced its return to the world's fastest motorsport for the second consecutive season and in 2023, will sponsor Pro Stock Motorcycle standout Hector Arana Jr. and the Arana Racing team for the entire season.

During GETTRX, powered by Global Electronic Technology, Inc., two-race partnership with Arana Jr. last season, he was able to park his GETTRX Buell in the winner's circle during the NHRA Nevada Nationals in Vegas, which was one of two consecutive national event wins he had in the NHRA Countdown to the Championship spoiling other full-time rider's hopes of clinching the world title early.

"I am so grateful for Steve, Scott (Bryson), and the entire GETTRX family," Arana said in a press release. "They gave us a shot last year to prove what our program can do, and we were able to get them a win! Playing spoiler during the Countdown to the Championship was awesome! We weren't racing for the title then, but I am optimistic that with this 2023 full-time backing, we will experience greater success as we race for a Pro Stock Motorcycle World Championship this season."

After last season, Arana Jr. upped his career PSM national event race win total to 17, and he has won 235 rounds in his career. At 22, as a rookie in 2011, Arana Jr. was the recipient of the Auto Club Road to the Future Award as NHRA's rookie of the year and was series runner-up to champion Eddie Krawiec.

On March 16, 2018, Arana also became the first Pro Stock Motorcycle driver to eclipse the 200-mph barrier at an NHRA national event when he clocked a speed of 200.23 during a qualifying pass at the Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla.

"With only running a limited race schedule in 2022, due to lack of primary funding, we were able to qualify at every event we attended and even came out victorious on race day. A partner like GETTRX will help showcase what our Pro Stock Motorcycle program is capable of, as well as bring visibility to both GETTRX and our program," Arana Jr. said.

Entrepreneur Steve Bryson, founder and CEO of GETTRX, is happy to be backing Arana Jr.  

"Hector (Arana, Jr.) is a true champion in every sense of the word," Bryson said in a press release. "With his unwavering passion, sheer dedication, and unparalleled skills, he has made a remarkable impact on the world of motorsports. We're honored to have him as a part of Team GETTRX, and we can't wait to see him in action on the track. Our collaboration with Hector is not just about supporting him in his quest for victory; it's about creating a legacy that will be remembered for years to come."

Arana Jr. will kick things off at NHRA's season-opening Amalie Motor Oil Gatornationals March 10-12 in Gainesville.
