Aflac renews its sponsorship with Kalitta Motorsports, headlining Doug Kalitta’s Top Fuel entry at the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals on July 17–19, 2026, at Sonoma Raceway.
The renewed deal runs through the 2026 season and places Aflac as primary backer on Kalitta’s car, reinforcing a title push within NHRA’s Mission Foods Drag Racing Series.
Kalitta Motorsports fields three entries nationwide, demanding dependable funding for parts, travel, and turnaround. Sponsorship stability influences clutch packs, blower upkeep, and data resources within Top Fuel’s tightly policed ruleset.
Aflac’s positioning fits the sport’s reliability narrative. Senior vice president Richard Siebert welcomes the extension and highlights fast benefit payments, aligning that responsiveness with Kalitta’s instinct to seize winning chances.
Aflac will be primary sponsor of Doug Kalitta’s Top Fueler at Sonoma.
Aflac’s market strength is clear in supplemental and cancer insurance, but ethics set it apart. The company records twenty consecutive Ethisphere World’s Most Ethical Companies selections since 2007.
Aflac recognized among the World’s Most Ethical Companies for 20 straight years.
General manager Chad Head frames the partnership as cultural alignment. Kalitta Motorsports, founded by Connie Kalitta in the 1950s, thrives on incremental gains that mirror Aflac’s innovation beyond traditional coverage.
On-track, additional backing can tighten turnaround times between rounds, fund durability testing, and protect consistency in changeable Sonoma conditions. That balance often separates contenders from early exits in Top Fuel.
The renewed deal extends through the 2026 NHRA season.
The Sonoma weekend also sits prominently on the drag racing calendar, drawing deep fields and quick surfaces. Recent standout meetings underline the venue’s importance to momentum and championship storylines.
This renewal arrives as NHRA introduces engagement initiatives, including the evolving Bad Luck Program, designed to boost fan interest while supporting teams through unpredictable moments.
With Aflac’s backing, Team Kalitta targets an efficient weekend at Sonoma and a sustained summer push. Execution across reaction times, lane choice, and reliability will determine how far momentum carries.
