Red Line Oil Continues Partnership with Dave Richards for 2026 Season

Dave Richards and SCAG Racing are excited to continue their partnership with Red Line Oil for the 2026 Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series season.

Red Line Oil, a leader in high-performance lubricants, plays a key role in keeping Richards’ nitro Funny Car performing at its best. From engine and gear oil to specialty additives, Red Line’s products help ensure the reliability and performance required to compete at the highest level of drag racing.

“I love being part of Team Red Line Oil,” said Richards. “It’s special to receive inspirational texts from Mark Beatty on race weekends — he’s always reminding us to enjoy the moments. Red Line’s products are superior, and I’m looking forward to a strong 2026 season and celebrating wins together.”

“Team Red line Oil is like a family,” said Mark Beatty, Brand Director of Red Line Oil. “We have racers from all walks of life doing what they love. Dave and his team truly make us better as a group and as a brand.”

Red Line Oil branding will be featured on Richards’ Bluebird Turf Funny Car throughout the 2026 season as the SCAG Racing team chases wins coast to coast, beginning at the NHRA Gatornationals, March 6–8, in Gainesville, Florida.
