Chad Green Motorsports Lands New Backing From bproauto
Chad Green Motorsports has formed a new partnership with bproauto, an emerging aftermarket brand backed by Stellantis. Introduced to the North American market in 2023, bproauto supplies OE‑backed, quality‑tested replacement parts to dealerships, wholesale distributors, and independent repair shops.
Their involvement with the team begins this weekend at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, California. The brand enters the sport at a time when fans pay close attention to who supports which teams. Their presence in the pits puts them in front of a crowd that values authenticity.
The NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series runs on extremes: 330‑mph speeds, 12,000‑horsepower engines, and launch forces that hit more than 5 g. A pair of nitro Funny Cars can burn through 15 gallons of fuel in a single pass, and every run puts enough strain on the engine to require a teardown within the hour.
In a sport this punishing, a driver needs sharp reflexes, a disciplined crew, and the financial strength to survive the parts attrition that comes with nitro racing. One mistake can derail a weekend. One broken part can alter the direction of a season.
Chad Green has shown he has the driving ability and the personnel to compete with the best in the category. He has now added a major corporate partner to reinforce the program. The move comes at a point where the team’s progress is visible. It also reflects a group intent on staying in the fight as the schedule tightens.
A New Brand Steps Into Nitro Racing
Bproauto’s move into the NHRA paddock targets a fan base known for its loyalty and mechanical interest. The same people filling the stands are often the ones maintaining their own vehicles at home. Putting the brand on a 330‑mph Funny Car places it directly in front of an audience that values durability and performance.
The approach is simple and effective. It reaches the exact people who buy and install parts. Dustin Pedley, global head of bproauto at Stellantis, sees a natural connection between the demands of nitro racing and the message his company wants to send.
A Funny Car run depends on teamwork, precision, and reliable component qualities that align with the brand’s identity. Pedley understands the value of showing up in a sport where fans reward commitment. His group views this partnership as a long‑term investment in a highly engaged audience.
Momentum On Green’s Side
The timing of the partnership matches the team’s current trajectory. Green enters Pomona as the Funny Car points leader after a breakthrough win at the 2024 Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals.
He also has a strong history at the In‑N‑Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, including a victory at the 2023 NHRA Finals. His familiarity with the surface and his crew’s understanding of Pomona’s conditions give the team a clear advantage. The group arrives with confidence earned through performance, not optimism.
Chad Green Motorsports operates out of Brownsburg, Indiana, fielding two full‑time Funny Cars across the 20‑race national schedule. Chad drives the primary entry, while the second car is shared by his son, Hunter Green, and four‑time national event winner Blake Alexander.
Hunter brings championship experience from his Top Alcohol Dragster title at the U.S. Nationals. Running multiple cars allows the team to gather more data per session, which is critical when track conditions shift. It also gives the organization a broader competitive footprint against the category’s strongest teams.
Partnership Details
Fans will see the bproauto branding immediately as the company joins as an associate partner for the Winternationals. Their involvement expands as the season progresses. bproauto will serve as the primary sponsor on Green’s Funny Car at three key events:
- NHRA New England Nationals (Epping, June)
- Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals (Norwalk, June)
- NHRA Nevada Nationals (Las Vegas, late October)
The Las Vegas stop often shapes the championship picture, making that appearance especially important. These events draw some of the largest and most invested crowds of the season, giving the brand strong exposure.
The Impact
The partnership reflects well on the NHRA’s position in the motorsports landscape. When a global automaker like Stellantis invests in the series through a brand such as bproauto, it shows confidence in the sport’s reach and marketing value. Corporate partners expect measurable returns, and their involvement signals that the series continues to deliver.
It also reinforces the idea that drag racing remains a strong platform for companies tied to automotive performance. The sport’s direct, unfiltered nature resonates with consumers in a way few other motorsports can match. For Chad Green Motorsports, the support provides stability in a category where a single engine failure can carry a steep price.
With a major partner behind them, the team can pursue performance without the constant concern of budget‑breaking damage. That freedom allows crew chiefs to push harder in qualifying and eliminations. It also gives the organization room to plan for the long haul.
What’s Next
Chad Green Motorsports enters this stretch of the season with momentum and meaningful backing. The addition of bproauto strengthens a program already proving it can win under pressure. With a points lead, a multi‑car operation generating valuable data, and a sponsor aligned with the sport’s core audience, Green is positioned to contend deep into the fall.
If the team maintains its current pace, this partnership may mark the moment a rising contender gained the stability needed to pursue a championship with full force. The pieces are in place for a run that could reshape the Funny Car landscape.
