The 28th Annual Funny Car Fever is back April 24th – 25th at Sacramento Raceway Park. 619 Promotions has added a new marketing partner… Mickey Thompson Performance Tire and Wheels.
“Having such a valuable marketing partner as Mickey Thompson, has made it possible to put on the first ever 16 nitro funny car elimination field at Sacramento Raceway Park, giving the fans twice the show of last year’s event.” said Lisa Jennings at 619 Promotions. “We are looking forward to working with Mickey Thompson on this historical event and hope this turns into a long partnership that benefits us both in the years to come.”
Mickey Thompson will have a fully manned support trailer on hand at Funny Car Fever at Sacramento Raceway Park for those racers that run their tires for sales and tech support.
The Nitro Funny Car Association (NFCA) is guaranteeing the 16 car field.
