From the track to the trail, we’re demonstrating that SKF doesn’t just perform under pressure, we thrive in it. Casey’s race vehicle gives us the perfect platform to showcase what we deliver to our customers: Solutions engineered to their specifications.”
Every customer has different requirements. That’s why SKF starts with a simple question: What’s your spec?

Currie, a championship-winning off-road driver and Dakar Rally class champion with victories across desert endurance racing, Ultra4 competition, and rock-crawling events, emphasized the importance of dependable components in achieving peak performance.
“In off-road racing, every component matters,” said Currie. “You need parts that can perform under extreme loads, harsh conditions, and constant punishment. SKF’s products give us the confidence to push harder, knowing we’re backed by technology that’s been engineered and proven to perform when it matters most.”
