The Edelbrock Group announced today that Edelbrock and COMP Cams will serve as the primary sponsor on the Rick Ware Racing/Parts Plus NHRA Top Fuel (T/F) Dragster driven by Clay Millican at the upcoming NHRA Nevada Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, October 27-30.
Founded in Memphis, Tennessee, COMP Cams’ partnership with Millican reaches back to his grassroots beginnings as a young drag racer from nearby Drummonds, Tennessee. It is a long-standing relationship that has withstood the test of time since his early amateur Super Gas days through his six IHRA T/F titles, and his pursuit of an NHRA title. Millican’s tenacity and passion align with the competitive spirit of the Edelbrock Group, and it is proud to honor his commitment with a sponsorship at the exciting Nevada Nationals.
