After taking a hiatus in 2020, Jeff Diehl Racing is returning to the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series for the 2021 race season. 

Owner/driver Jeff Diehl and his team have not competed since last year’s Phoenix event, but they did get their new race car dialed in before the COVID-19 pandemic halted the JDR team. The team has used that time to work on updating and making improvements to the car with the help of Bobby and Dom Lagana. 

In addition to a brand-new car, JDR will be sporting a new color scheme with a new sponsor that originated in 2020: “The Real Deal Pepper Sauce,” allowing JDR to come back with a vengeance for the 2021 race season.

Along with The Real Deal Pepper Sauce, longtime sponsors Red Line Oil, Excel Drywall, Borrmann's Steel Co., BR Motorsports, CP Carrillo, Central Valley Auto Haus, Shirt Lizard, ARP, Nitro*A*gogo! Designs, and Woody’s Custom Headers continue their support for the Central California coast-based race team.  

“We’re excited to come back to racing bringing our pepper sauce and all of our marketing partners to the many fans who have supported us over the years,” said Diehl. “It’s going to be an exciting year for all of us!”
