Trick-Tools Racing Powers Forward with New 2026 NHRA Season Deal

PowerEdge partners with Trick-Tools Racing for the remainder of the 2026 NHRA season, joining as associate sponsor on Chase Van Sant’s Pro Stock Motorcycle program.

The agreement places PowerEdge branding on Van Sant’s bike at every round, with enhanced activation at Sonoma and Las Vegas, two commercially significant stops.

At Sonoma, the GETTRX All-Star Pro Stock Motorcycle Callout features the top eight by points, awarding bonus championship points and prize money that can swing the title picture.

Unlike standard brackets, higher seeds select first‑round opponents. That mechanic rewards form, invites risk, and adds a strategic layer to race‑day choices.

Trick-Tools and PowerEdge align on reliability as a competitive differentiator. Van Sant highlights repeatability as central to qualifying execution and eliminations discipline.

PowerEdge supplies aftermarket starters, alternators, and diesel aftertreatment components. The range targets durability and value, underpinned by DENSO engineering and service coverage.

That support is relevant across heat, altitude, and high‑load scenarios common on the NHRA tour. Reduced variability can deliver marginal gains in launch consistency.

Visibility peaks again at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where late‑season pressure tests operational strengths and reveals weak links.

PowerEdge seeks broader motorsports reach while keeping spend efficient. An associate package balances exposure, trackside activation, and measurable trade engagement.

DENSO’s scale anchors credibility. The company employs 155,000 worldwide, invests over nine percent of sales in R&D, and reports more than $47 billion in annual revenue.

In North America, DENSO operates nearly 50 facilities and posted $12.7 billion in FY2026 sales. That footprint supports availability and technical response for PowerEdge customers.

For Van Sant’s team, stable backing secures development runway and travel logistics. The tie‑up strengthens alignment heading toward the In‑N‑Out NHRA Finals.

The move signals intent from both parties to build beyond 2026. Delivery against performance metrics and marketing KPIs will define its long‑term scope.
