REVCHEM COMPOSITES EXTENDS ITS KALITTA MOTORSPORTS PARTNERSHIP

VP RACING ANNOUNCES EXPANDED CONTINGENCY PROGRAM FOR NHRA

■ Revchem Composites extended its partnership with Kalitta Motorsports for a sixth-consecutive season, the team announced today. The 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series begins March 7-9, 2025 at the Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla.
Celebrating its 50th season in business in 2025, Revchem Composites is a leading provider of composite raw materials and supplies. Since 2020, Revchem branding has been prominently featured on the three Kalitta Motorsports entries driven by 2023 NHRA Top Fuel champion Doug Kalitta, 2018 NHRA Funny Car champion J. R. Todd and 2013 NHRA Top Fuel champion Shawn Langdon.
Revchem Composites, a leader in supplying motorsports manufacturers- alongside their partners at Prototype Concepts- collaborated with Toyota Motorsports to create the Toyota Gazoo Racing GR Supra Funny Car body now used in NHRA Drag Racing. Revchem is committed to increasing the productivity and profitability of composites fabricators with six strategically-located United States distribution centers that stock some 4,000 products from more than 200 suppliers.
“ Our Revchem team provides technical support and solutions for composites manufacturers in many unique industries: aerospace, aviation, surfing, marine, theming and motorsports,” Revchem president Pete Pendleton said.“ We are proud to once again partner with Kalitta Motorsports this season.”
Revchem will continue to increase its brand awareness and business-to-business relationships by hosting both existing and potential customers in the Kalitta Motorsports VIP hospitality area, which travels the entire 20-race NHRA series throughout the United States.
“ Our race cars are lighter and stronger thanks to Revchem products,” Kalitta Motorsports General Manager Chad Head said.“ Team Kalitta counts on Revchem Composites in many areas – their overall motorsports knowledge is vital for our race team. They partnered with us on creating the current GR Supra Funny Car body, and we rely on their expertise on a regular basis. They come to races and invest time in our hospitality area building relationships with our other partners, and it’ s great that they take advantage of the business-tobusiness opportunities available to them through our partnership.”
