Summit Racing Equipment Continues Partnership With Daniel Wilkerson For 2026

Daniel Wilkerson and SCAG Racing are excited to welcome back Summit Racing Equipment as an associate sponsor of the SCAG Power Equipment Funny Car for the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

A longtime supporter of Wilkerson, Summit Racing Equipment has played an integral role throughout his career, supplying key components essential to the performance and safety of a Nitro Funny Car — from driver safety equipment to critical performance parts.

“Twenty years ago, when I got my Super Comp license, there was a Summit Racing Equipment decal on my car,” said Wilkerson. “They have supported me throughout my entire career, so I am very excited to get to extend our relationship through 2026.”

Summit Racing Equipment branding will be featured on Wilkerson’s Funny Car throughout the year, beginning with the NHRA Gatornationals, March 6–8, in Gainesville, Florida, where the 2026 season officially gets underway.
