INDIANAPOLIS — NHRA officials announced today that Lucas Oil Products, the world leader and distributor of high-performance automotive additives and lubricants, has signed a long-term extension to continue as the title sponsor of the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and “Official Oil of NHRA.”
This season, NHRA and Lucas Oil celebrated a partnership that started 25 years ago as Lucas Oil remains a cornerstone and premier partner of NHRA, which is celebrating its 75th season in 2026.
“From the drag strip to the bottling line, NHRA has played a very important and meaningful role throughout my career,” said Morgan Lucas, CEO of Lucas Oil. “As a former professional drag racer, I have seen firsthand the care and craftsmanship NHRA puts into the sport of drag racing, and it is an honor to now support the organization through Lucas Oil’s industry-leading line of automotive additives and lubricants, built to withstand the elements and the tough conditions drivers face. We thank NHRA for its continued partnership with Lucas Oil, which has truly stood the test of time.”
As well as continuing its longtime title sponsorship of the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, which features the best and most decorated sportsman competitors in drag racing, and its status as “Official Oil of NHRA,” Lucas Oil will also continue as the title rights sponsor with naming rights at legendary Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. The track plays host to the world’s biggest and most prestigious drag race, this weekend’s 72nd annual Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals.
Throughout its long-standing and all-encompassing partnership with NHRA, Lucas Oil has worked closely with race teams to develop specialized motor oil, gear oil and fuel treatments for racing, leading to several top-selling products for the company. Each product under the Lucas Oil banner is designed to withstand extreme heat and friction, delivering reliable and standout performance.
“Lucas Oil has been an extraordinary partner with NHRA for the past 25 years, and we’re absolutely thrilled to extend this partnership,” said NHRA Vice President and Chief Development Officer Brad Gerber. “The Lucas family’s commitment to drag racing and our Sportsman racers has been incredible for so many years, forging an incredible legacy in NHRA drag racing. Their support has played a tremendous role in NHRA’s continuous growth and we look forward to enjoying continued success with Lucas Oil well into the future.”
