Formula DRIFT Signs O’Reilly Auto Parts as Official Retailer

O’Reilly Auto Parts has extended its longstanding support of the world’s biggest drift series with a partnership as the Official Retailer of Formula DRIFT (FD). O’Reilly Auto Parts showcases its dedication to the drift experience in its nationwide retail stores by providing a comprehensive range of parts and tools for both drift fans and auto enthusiasts to help keep their road and competition vehicles in optimal condition.

In addition to a wide range of parts available in-store and online, Formula DRIFT enthusiasts will be able to visit O’Reilly Auto Parts stores to purchase officially licensed Formula DRIFT products. This will include items such as the FD Performance Steering Wheel Cover and Waterproof Seat Protector, designed to add a burst of FD style to any vehicle.

“We’re stoked to have O’Reilly Auto Parts sponsor the series after being involved with Dylan Hughes for several years,” said Ryan Sage, president of Formula DRIFT. “The team at O’Reilly has been able to see the real benefits of its involvement in our sport and we’re able to increase that exponentially with this new agreement.”

O’Reilly to Maintain Its Other Formula DRIFT Partnerships

O’Reilly Auto Parts will continue its partnership with Royal Purple and Formula DRIFT PRO driver Hughes for the 2025 season. Hughes’ breakthrough win came in 2022 at Orlando Speed World, followed by multiple trips to the podium. He secured ninth place in the 2024 Championship standings at the wheel of the Royal Purple E46 BMW 2JZ. For 2025, Hughes says that he will strive for even greater success and possibly that elusive first FD PRO Championship title with the support of O’Reilly Auto Parts.

As is traditional, the Formula DRIFT PRO Championship kicks off its 2025 season on the Streets of Long Beach on April 4-5. Round 1 of the Link ECU PROSPEC Championship will take place at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on May 8-10 along with Round 2 of FD PRO.
