Dayton, Ohio February 7, 2017 – Dayton Superior Corporation has announced the 2017 Dayton Superior Racing sponsorship of Nitro Nostalgia Funny Car champion driver, Kris Krabill of the Austin O’Brien race team. For the 2017 season, Krabill will be behind the wheel of a Dayton Superior-branded car featuring a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro body style. Krabill’s race rig and fire suit will also carry the Dayton Superior brand.
The Dayton Superior Nitro Nostalgia Funny Car boasts a 4,000 horsepower, nitromethane- burning engine built off an all-aluminum 426 Hemi. The car is owned by Hall of Fame driver Bucky Austin along with Mike and Jeanette O’Brien.
“Dayton Superior is proud to continue our Dayton Superior Racing sponsorship of Kris for the 2017 racing season,” said Dayton Superior President & CEO, Jim McRickard. “Kris is an extremely talented driver.
