Pingel Enterprise, Inc., a manufacturer of high-quality motorcycle performance parts, has ensured the Top Fuel Motorcycle division will appear in at least four 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

Pingel has signed on as the title sponsor for the series which will appear at NHRA national events starting with next weekend’s event at Route 66 Raceway outside of Chicago, Virginia Motorsports Park in Richmond (June 22-23), Brainerd International Raceway (Aug. 16-18) and the finale at zMAX Dragway in Charlotte on Sept. 20-22. The category will receive final-round coverage on FS1 at each of the four stops

Pingel has been a key partner for top riders in drag racing’s motorcycle ranks, including Larry “Spiderman” McBride, who set the record for the fastest motorcycle pass in drag racing history at the NHRA national event in 2022 at Virginia Motorsports Park.

“This class is loaded with incredible riders who put on one of the most exciting shows in drag racing and we’re proud to be title sponsors of the Pingel NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle Series,” Pingel Owners Wayne and Donna Pingel said. “Our goal for nearly 60 years has been providing the best parts for better performance on the dragstrip, and we can’t wait to see what these riders and race teams have in store for NHRA fans during the upcoming season.” 

Two years ago, McBride went 268.38 mph at his home track in Virginia, shattering his previous record, while also stopping the clocks at 5.61-seconds.

“The Top Fuel Motorcycle category has been a huge success in the NHRA the last two seasons, and we’re thrilled to see them increase to four races in 2024 and have Pingel as the title sponsor of the category,” NHRA Vice President and Chief Development Officer Brad Gerber said. “Pingel is a company deeply dedicated to motorcycle performance, which makes them a perfect fit for this class, and I’m sure we’ll see a number of outstanding performances from these riders this season.”
