MAHLE Motorsport Announces New Presenting Event Sponsorship for the Scoggin Dickey Parts Center NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals
MAHLE Motorsport has announced it will be this year’s presenting event sponsor for the Scoggin Dickey Parts Center NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals. The All-Star Nationals is being held April 21–24, in a new location at the Rockingham Dragway in North Carolina. This four-day event, the second for the year, is one of only two events where both NMRA and NMCA racers come together to compete for titles in multiple categories—Pro Mod, X275, Xtreme Street/Renegade Radial Classes and Index racing. The event is billed as the ultimate street car bash in the southeast, where the fastest musclecar drag racers and quickest NMRA Ford racers prove their mettle with record setting performances on the same track.
In addition to the weekend-long race events, there is show and shine for domestics and Manufacturer’s Midway where enthusiasts and builders can meet face to face with automotive experts, including MAHLE Motorsport, which will have a booth at the event.

The venue also serves as home to the annual Red Bull Crandon World Cup, held each Sunday of Labor Day weekend, and is scheduled to feature the AMSOIL Champ Off-Road and Ultra4 Racing series in 2022. Crandon Office Manager Tina Kulaf will remain in her role of managing the track’s business operation.
