DENSO To Sponsor Millican for Inaugural Four-Wide Nationals in Vegas

Team Speed Society Racing driver Clay Millican and DENSO Spark Plugs have inked an agreement that will see Millican rolling into Las Vegas this weekend flying the DENSO logo on his world-record holding top fuel dragster. DENSO, which also holds the title sponsor for the first ever four-wide race – officially titled the DENSO Spark Plugs Four-Wide Nationals – at the newly-expanded The Strip at Las Vegas Motorsports Park, touted Clay’s on- and off-track attributes as helping them choose the Drummonds, Tennessee native to fly their banner.

“We’re proud to sponsor Clay, who is a tough competitor and a tremendous role model. He’s on fire this year If you want to see him in action, don’t blink!” Said DENSO Aftermarket Sales and Product Management Group Vice President Fran Labun.

Millican reflected similar sentiments when speaking about his newest partner. “On the track and on the road, DENSO is an amazing partner. I’m honored to have DENSO as a sponsor. The name stands for excellence, ingenuity, and safety, all the right ingredients for success!”

Millican, who came out of the gates in 2018 swinging by resetting his own world record elapsed time at the Winternationals, has hopes riding high going into Vegas after securing another top qualifying effort and racing to the semifinals at the tour’s most recent stop in Gainesville. He and his team, anchored by crew chief David Grubnic and a team of young, hungry and tenacious crewmen are looking to continue that momentum at the DENSO Spark Plugs Four-Wide Nationals this weekend in Vegas.

Look for Clay and company to come out swinging again as they gun for that yellow Mello Yello #1 qualifier cap on Friday and Saturday before competing for the green cap earned by the winner during Sunday’s eliminations!
