MAHLE Aftermarket announced it renewed its partnership with motorsports legend Casey Currie for the 2023 season, marking six years of collaboration, including the development of a custom vehicle build for the inaugural “MAHLE: The Choice of Champions” technician promotion. Currie is also an integral member of the MAHLE engine parts test team and regularly participates in leading off-road competitions and exhibitions across the United States driving a MAHLE-branded vehicle.
“Since day one of our partnership with Casey, similar to his well-known motorsports persona, it’s been a non-stop adventure with many milestones already achieved and memories captured,” said Jim Kahut, head of marketing at MAHLE Aftermarket North America. “Casey and his team have become a part of the MAHLE family, seamlessly connecting with our customers, staff and product technicians and we look forward to what still lies ahead in our flourishing relationship.”
Kicking off the first event of the year, Casey and his team will compete in the 2023 Progressive King of the Hammers, considered the toughest week of one-day, off-road races in the world, February 2-11 in Johnson Valley, California.
