MAHLE Aftermarket Extends Partnership with Kalitta Motorsports | THE SHOP
MAHLE Aftermarket announced a partnership with Kalitta Motorsports at the PRI Show in Indianapolis.

MAHLE Aftermarket announced the extension of its sponsorship of Kalitta Motorsports and the formation of Team MAHLE at the 2019 Performance Racing Industry (PRI) trade show in Indianapolis.

The formation of Team MAHLE marks the next level of partnership, the company said, between MAHLE Aftermarket and the wide network of elite Motorsports competitors that support MAHLE. Along with the creation of Team MAHLE, an extended partnership through 2020 was announced with all three Kalitta Motorsports teams – the Mac Tools and the DHL/Kalitta Air Top Fuel dragsters and the DHL Toyota Camry Funny Car.

Kalitta Motorsports have utilized MAHLE Performance Rings and Clevite Performance Engine Bearings on its NHRA Funny Car and Top Fuel dragsters. With the formation of Team MAHLE, that partnership will expand to drive technical development in race engine technology.

Jon Douglas, president of MAHLE Aftermarket Inc. stated, “MAHLE is very proud of its decades’ long history of partnering with the very best in motorsports from Formula 1 to NASCAR and NHRA, including other venues like Off Road and Drift.  Launching Team MAHLE is a momentous occasion for us, as it provides a home to all of our elite motorsports partners, and being able to kick it off with a Championship Team like Kalitta Motorsports is only the beginning.  Kalitta Motorsports is consistently a champion or top contender in NHRA and their team drivers push the envelope and fight aggressively to win week after week and year after year.”
