Meguiar's, makers of an array of popular car care products, has reached a multi-year agreement to become the official car care product of the NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series.

The 10-race series, which will be televised on ESPN2, kicks off its second season April 13-14 at Gainesville Raceway with the second annual NHRA Sport Compact Nationals.

"Fifty years after starting NHRA, Wally Parks' original dream of providing a safe haven for street racers has been reborn in the NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series," said Barry Meguiar, president of Meguiar's. "We're making a huge investment in this series because it is a wonderful opportunity to pass our passion for fast cars on to the next generation, along with responsibility of doing it safely."

Meguiar's offers a wide variety of cleaners, polishes, waxes, conditioners, protectants and sealants for cars, boats, airplanes, furniture and other applications.

"One of the first things about you notice about a sport compact event is the car show atmosphere throughout the entire event," said Bob Wagner, NHRA vice president of sales and business development. "With that in mind, we feel Meguiar's is a perfect fit for the series."

Since 1901, Meguiar's technical experts have worked hand-in-hand with car and automotive paint manufacturers around the world to create highly specialized surface care products. As the preferred brand for automotive assembly manufacturers, body shops, high-end detailers, automotive museums and serious car enthusiasts.
