LE Tonglet, the 2010 NHRA world champion and a veteran of 20 NHRA national events, is set to re-enter the Pro Stock Motorcycle class for the 2024 season. Tonglet will ride a Suzuki Hayabusa as part of a lease agreement with the Vance & Hines team, with backing from Kenny Koretsky's diverse business portfolio, including Nitro Fish apparel, Maple Grove Raceway, and KPK Development.
"I'm really excited to be back and be on a bike that should be really competitive," Tonglet said. "This is a new bike, which I've never had before, and I can't wait to ride it," he added, highlighting the anticipation surrounding his return.
Having made sporadic appearances in recent NHRA seasons, Tonglet last won at the 2018 Dallas event, defeating then-teammate Jerry Savoie in the final round. Despite his intermittent presence, Tonglet remains confident in his abilities, looking forward to his upcoming races.
