We always love good news around here and when a talented young racer lands a sponsor that will allow him or her to attack the championship run that comes during the latter part of a drag racing season. In this case it is NHRA Pro Stock bike racer Flyin’ Ryan Oehler. Armstrong Air has provided backing for Oehler to run his bike “out the back door” of the 2018 season starting at the Chevrolet Performance US Nationals and carrying right on through to the World Finals in Pomona, California.

There’s details and a great video interview with Ryan below. Good stuff!

New Sponsor Heating Up Oehler’s NHRA Rookie Bid

Heating and cooling manufacturing giant Armstrong Air is stepping up to the sponsorship plate to ensure that National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock Motorcycle racer “Flyin’ Ryan” Oehler’s season continues through the Countdown to One—NHRA’s championship playoff.

The most solid bet for the NHRA’s Auto Club Road to the Future award—the drag racing organization’s version of Rookie of the Year—Oehler is also still in the race to be in the Countdown. That’s a remarkable achievement for a completely independent rookie rider and his one-bike, full-rookie family team.

Next up for two-time AMRA Pro Modified champ Oehler is the world’s biggest drag race: the NHRA Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway near Indianapolis, Indiana.

Oehler and the team tested at Indy last week, and you can hear about his testing results, his year so far, his expectations through the fall, and his many sponsors in this video interview:
