Speedmaster to serve as primary sponsor for Josh Hart's Top Fuel dragster at JFR

Speedmaster, the global leader in high-performance automotive parts and motorsports culture, has increased its partnership to full primary sponsorship of John Force Racing’s Top Fuel team driven by Josh Hart in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series.

Speedmaster was announced as a co-primary partner with Hart’s Burnyzz Speed Shop on Jan. 28 of this year. Both Speedmaster and Burnyzz Speed Shop will continue to have brand identification on all four of John Force Racing’s teams throughout the year.

The Speedmaster Top Fuel dragster will make its debut at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.

“I’ve never had a sponsor contribute so much so fast,” said Hart. “The partnership is beyond just parts and sponsorship for the race car. We quickly became friends. We quickly understand each other’s businesses. Jason’s been great. The whole Speedmaster team has really been kind of rallying behind this. He mentioned to me that this is a lifelong dream of his to be a primary sponsor on a Top Fuel car with John Force Racing. The fact that we were able to collaborate and put it together as quickly as we did is absolutely epic. Speedmaster stepping into the primary spot alleviates some pressure on me, puts them in the spotlight, which is what they deserve and, hopefully, it’s a long-term partnership for years to come.”

Hart won the 2026 season-opening NHRA Gatornationals on March 8 in his John Force Racing debut. A second-round finish two weeks later at the NHRA Arizona Nationals finds the team second in the points standings heading into the Winternationals.

Overall, John Force Racing drivers have won 32 times in three events at In-N-Out Pomona Dragstrip (17 times at the Winternationals, 14 times at the Finals, plus John Force’s win at the 50th Anniversary NHRA Nationals in 2001).
