Bruno Massel and Stockseth Racing have announced a renewed partnership for the 2026 NHRA season that will once again feature Outlaw Light Beer branding on Massel’s race car, made possible through the continued support of Mark Stockseth.
Stockseth previously sponsored Massel’s Pro Stock campaigns during the 2020 and 2021 NHRA seasons. In 2024, Stockseth assembled a program that brought Outlaw Light Beer into NHRA Pro Stock competition for the first time with Jeg Coughlin Jr. and Jerry Tucker, before expanding the partnership to include Massel and his Comp Eliminator program.
That partnership delivered immediate results, as Massel captured his 19th NHRA National Event victory at the NHRA Brainerd Nationals – the first event in which he carried the Outlaw Light Beer logo.
Following that success, Stockseth has once again stepped forward in 2026 to continue the relationship, ensuring Outlaw Light Beer remains part of Massel’s NHRA Comp Eliminator program.
“I’m thrilled to work with Mark and the folks at Outlaw Beer once again,” said Massel. “Over the years, Stockseth racing has played an integral role in supporting the likes of Elite Motorsports, Matt and Angie Smith, and Rickie Smith. To be a part of the inner circle is pretty cool to say the least!”
Massel is planning to compete at a select number of National events in 2026 that will kick off at his hometown race, the Route 66 Nationals just outside of Chicago.
