“The Tasca family has an incredible legacy in racing and the overall automotive landscape in New England,” said Dennis Weese, president of LINE-X. “I’m thrilled to welcome Tasca Racing as both a partner and, even more exciting, as a new franchisee. This unique partnership teams LINE-X’s renowned protective coatings and truck accessories with one of NHRA’s oldest and most respected race teams. We look forward to further elevating the LINE-X brand in the region and across the NHRA family with this formidable team.”

“I’m thrilled to join the LINE-X family of franchises and have LINE-X join our team as an associate sponsor. Knowing the NHRA fan base and their passion to drive pickup trucks, I knew LINE-X would be a perfect fit,” said Tasca. “LINE-X spray-on truck bedliners are popular among truck owners and automotive enthusiasts, and now we can share these premier products with our valued customers. I’m looking forward to working with LINE-X and promoting the brand within the sport of NHRA drag racing.”

Tasca III and LINE-X will compete next at the NHRA Northwest Nationals on Aug. 3-5 at Pacific Raceways in Seattle.
