Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage will be the primary sponsor on Matt Hagan’s Funny Car at six races, minimum, during the 2024 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season.
It is a multi-year extension of the company’s current partnership with Tony Stewart Racing, which began earlier this year in April. On the JHG side, owner Jason Johnson is excited to continue growing his portfolio on the drag strip.
“He (Johnson) has a huge presence already in the drag racing scene, I’ve known this guy for several years now, to see his passion for drag racing and what he wants to do out here — his group that he has here, it’s family,” said three-time Funny Car champion Hagan.
Next season, Hagan’s Funny Car will flaunt the deep red JHG paint scheme at a minimum of six races, with the black-and-red brand logo stretched proudly across the hood.
“They’re as much a part of this race team as anybody else who’s on this race car,” said TSR team owner Tony Stewart. “To have somebody like Jason (Johnson) who wants to be a part of this and who is so passionate about motorsports…it’s fun having him be actively involved.”
JHG has been a primary partner of Elite Motorsports in the NHRA Pro Stock division for several years, sponsoring five-time champion Erica Enders and Bo Butner.
