NHRA Top Fuel championship contender Josh Hart announced during the 2024 PRI Show in Indianapolis that his R+L Carriers Top Fuel team will chase the championship with the official support of Snap-on Tools.
The iconic brand will join R+L Carriers, TechNet and Burnyzz Speed Shops as an official sponsor of the Top Fuel team. Hart has had an associate sponsor relationship with Snap-on throughout his career but in 2025 Snap-on will be more prominently featured on his 12,000 horsepower R+L Carriers Top Fuel dragster and additional team assets. Snap-on tools will also play a prominent role in the national growth of Burnyzz Speed Shops across the country.
“I have loved using Snap-on Tools at the track and at Burnyzz Speed Shop,” said Hart, a multi-time NHRA Top Fuel National event winner. “A couple years ago Cruz Pedregon and I did an event at Indy for Snap-on distributors and customers and it was a blast. Their tools are top of the line and we are looking forward to using them to get more wins in 2025.”
In 2023 during an event surrounding the Indy 500, Hart and Pedregon fired up their 12,000-horsepower land rockets while the Snap-on guests got an up close and personal experience. They each executed long and smoky burnouts before taking the Christmas Tree with Pedregon getting a slight competition advantage off the starting line to even out the elapsed times. Hart has continued the relationship with Snap-on and is looking forward to adding more wins in 2025.
Hart will announce additional marketing partners and plans for 2025 as the team gets closer to the start of the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season. He will continue his long-term partnership with R+L Carriers and TechNet. Burnyzz Speed Shop will have an expanded presence at the races during the 2025 NHRA season with more details to be announced.
“I will be with R+L Carriers as long as I am racing and they are an unbelievable partner,” said Hart. “The TechNet relationship will continue as well with an eye on growing that business as we expand Burnyzz Speed Shop. Last year we had a lot going on off track and now we are going to give our full attention to out on-track performance. The addition of Jason McCulloch to work with Ron Douglas is huge and we are going to look at every opportunity to make our team better.”
Hart will be participating in the SCAG Power Equipment PRO Superstar Shootout, March 6-8, 2025 in Bradenton, Florida, and the team has not ruled out additional testing sessions to prepare for the 2025 season.
