DSR Performance and Dayco North America Continue Exclusive Product-Driven Partnership
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (April 25, 2022) – DSR Performance is proud to announce it has extended its B2B partnership with Dayco North America in 2022 by remaining the exclusive distributor of Dayco’s 11mm blower belt for Top Fuel/Funny Car applications.
As the retail arm of Don Schumacher Racing, drag racing’s winningest organization, DSR Performance specializes in offering the highest-quality parts and pieces for racing and street vehicles - and blower belts are no exception. The Dayco Racing 11mm blower belt was specifically engineered using real-world track data that enables it to withstand the rigors of 11,000-horsepower Top Fuel and Funny Car racing.
In 2019, DSR began exclusively running Dayco’s blower belts, and the switch proved to be effective as the Brownsburg, Ind.-based team went on to win back-to-back NHRA Camping World Series championships in 2020 and 2021. It is the ‘belt of choice’ for many of NHRA’s top tier teams and was a key contributor to Ron Capps’ 2021 Funny Car championship campaign.
Dayco’s drag racing product portfolio also features belts for Sportsman cars, including Factory Stock Showdown vehicles. David Davies, Mark Pawuk, and Warren Walcher all rely on Dayco’s serpentine belt, a product specifically developed for the 2021 Drag Pak 3.0 engines that are found under the hood of DSR’s contingent of Dodge Challenger Mopar Drag Paks.
“Our racing belts are built to handle some of the highest dynamic loads in racing,” said Jay Buckley, Director of Product Management for Dayco North America. “We love watching DSR and other teams performing so well, knowing our belts are helping them cross that finish line.”
The Dayco Racing 11mm blower belt is sold exclusively by DSR Performance and can be purchased by visiting www.dsr.parts or trackside at any NHRA Camping World Series race.
