MAHLE will host some of National Hot Rod Association’s (NHRA) leading drivers in Booth 1601 at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show 2021 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, IN from December 9 to 11. During the show, NHRA superstars John Force, Robert Hight, Brittany Force, Shawn Langdon, Clay Millican, Antron Brown, Stevie “Fast” Jackson and Ryan Gustin, will be onsite with MAHLE to “meet-and-greet” attendees.
The exhibit will also feature MAHLE Performance gaskets, which are made to deliver the best seal protection for each engine application, and MAHLE Performance piston rings, which incorporate cutting edge technology in both materials and manufacturing to provide maximum horsepower and durability. The exhibit will also feature Clevite® engine bearings, which are designed to meet the demands of high-performance cars.
“MAHLE’s legacy for supplying high-quality parts includes its contributions to the cars of winning drivers on all kinds of tracks, all over the world,” said Jon Douglas, President, MAHLE Aftermarket North America. “Our exhibit will give attendees an idea of our place in the performance industry, with examples like our gaskets and rings, which cover millions of applications, and Clevite® engine bearings, which are track-proven in engines with thousands of horsepower.

Available as TriMetal™ engine bearings, they feature three layers: copper-lead alloy layer, steel back layer and white-metal electroplated surface layer. The three-layer construction reduces drag, increases horsepower and offers a load capacity of 12,000 psi. Also available as TriArmor™ coated engine bearings, these bearings combine TriMetal™ technology with a moly/graphite, high-pressure, high-load, dry-film treatment that provides additional protection across a wide range of temperatures.
