PPG will continue its sponsorship of Tasca Racing team throughout the 2021 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season. 

Led by Bob Tasca III, team president and driver, Tasca Racing will run the full schedule and the team’s PPG Ford Shelby Nitro Mustang will display the PPG logo in every race this year.

PPG will serve as Tasca Racing’s primary sponsor for two key races – the New England Nationals at New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire, set for June 11-13, and the Mopar//SRT Mile High Nationals at Denver’s Bandimere Speedway from July 16-18. PPG is also Tasca Racing’s secondary sponsor for all other races this season.

“We are thrilled to sponsor Tasca Racing again this year,” said Bill Shaw, PPG director, marketing and strategic sales, automotive refinish. “PPG and Tasca Racing have had a strong relationship for more than 25 years, ever since Bob’s grandfather began using PPG products in his Ford dealership collision center in Cranston, Rhode Island. It was only natural that PPG would help sponsor the Tasca team when it decided to take to the track. The sponsorship has become much more than just good business. Drag racing is exciting to watch.” 

“It is great to have PPG as a sponsor again,” said Tasca. “Seeing the PPG logo on our car says it all about our partnership. With five collision centers and soon to be six spraying PPG, I am thrilled to continue that relationship. My grandfather said many years ago ‘Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.’ Well, we intend to win on Sunday and spray a lot of PPG product on Monday! I hope to see plenty of PPG customers and fans wherever we race.”

Tasca is also vice president of the Tasca Automotive Group. The company has multiple locations, including new car dealerships, collision centers and service centers, throughout New England and Florida. A new collision center will be opening in the greater Chicago area this year. PPG Envirobase High Performance system is the brand of choice in the company’s collision centers.
