Red Line Oil Named Presenting Sponsor of World Series of Pro Mod

Red Line Oil, producers of high-performance motor oil and lubricants, has been named the presenting sponsor of the Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod, race officials announced today. Set for Feb. 26-28 at Bradenton Motorsports Park, the $150,000-to-win Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod presented by Red Line Oil serves as the grand finale for the 2025/2026 Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service following the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals and the U.S. Street Nationals. 

“Red Line Oil has proven time and time again that they’re deeply invested in Pro Modified racing, and we’re excited to elevate that partnership with Red Line stepping in as the presenting sponsor of the World Series of Pro Mod,” said Wes Buck, Drag Illustrated founder and series promoter. “We’re intentional about aligning with partners who share our vision for where this series and the sport are headed, and Red Line absolutely fits that mold. Their commitment goes far beyond branding. They support racers at every level, and their products are trusted by the top engine builders and teams in drag racing worldwide.”

Known for its line of motor oil, gear oil, automatic transmission fluid, and other lubricants, Red Line Oil is headquartered in Houston, Texas, with products available through retailers and distributors around the globe. The company has supported the WSOPM since it moved to Bradenton in 2023, while Brand Director Mark Beatty has been involved with the event since its original iteration in Denver, Colorado, in 2017. 

“This partnership is extremely significant for me and the entire team at Red Line Oil,” Beatty said. “The World Series of Pro Mod is such a phenomenal way to propel drivers’ careers. Take Spencer Hyde, one of our Team Red Line Oil drivers, for example. He won it in 2023 and he turned that into an opportunity to become a full-time NHRA Funny Car driver last season, ultimately winning Rookie of the Year honors. Winning this race opens up a new chapter in life for these racers, and to be a part of that and their future and their legacy is an honor.”

The WSOPM serves as a major stage for racers in the headlining Pro Mod category as well as the supporting classes. That group includes a long list of Team Red Line Oil drivers, from original WSOPM winner Mike Bowman and 2025 PDRA Pro Boost world champion Ty Tutterow in Pro Mod to promoter and racer Jimmy Dale in Lil Gangstas. 

“Team Red Line Oil will be well-represented at this race,” Beatty said. “We’re passionate about working with racers who fly our flag, believe in our product, and want to be a part of our team. Getting involved with events like the World Series of Pro Mod is another way for us to support our Team Red Line Oil drivers and drag racers in general.”
