Öhlins Racing Joins NASCAR Competition Partner Program

Öhlins Racing, one of the world's leading suppliers of racing suspensions, announces today that they are joining the NASCAR Competition Partner program. The Competition Partner program, an extension of NASCAR's Next Gen Supplier program, allows automotive-based performance companies to promote their affiliation with the NASCAR organization, as well as products they supply for the Next Gen Car, to fans, customers, and the motorsports industry at large.

The 2023 NASCAR season kicked off on February 19 with the 65th running of the Daytona 500. This marks Öhlins’ second season as the exclusive supplier of suspension for the NASCAR Cup Series and first as part of the Competition Partner program.

Since the 2022 season, every team in the NASCAR Cup Series has been running an advanced, 5-way adjustable version of the Öhlins TTR damper, which is used in top-level racing such as the IndyCar Series and 24 Hours of Le Mans

Extensively developed and tested with NASCAR, Öhlins’ exclusive Cup Series TTR damper enables teams to quickly fine-tune damping characteristics and adapt to changing track conditions.

"It is an honor for Öhlins to be joining the NASCAR Competition Partner program," says Henrik Johansson, Managing Director, Öhlins Racing. "This marks an important milestone for our legacy in racing, and we are excited for the opportunity to showcase the revolutionary technologies we have developed for the Next Gen cars."

Öhlins, which first started developing components for NASCAR in 1994, is currently the exclusive supplier of shock absorbers for the NASCAR® Cup Series Next Gen car platform. Since the start of the 2022 season, all teams competing in the series have been running the highly advanced, five-way adjustable version of the Öhlins TTR coilover damper featured in elite racing series such as IndyCar and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Cup Series TTR damper was developed and tested by Öhlins engineers and representatives from NASCAR and is designed to help teams quickly dial in precise damping characteristics to achieve maximum performance on various track conditions.

Scott MacDonald, Managing Director, Öhlins USA, says of the partnership: "We have been working with NASCAR for almost thirty years. During this time, we have been committed to developing and supplying products that push the limits of performance and address the unique challenges that come with this form of racing. Now, as we enter into the Competition Partner program, we look forward to building on our cooperation with NASCAR and finding new ways to connect with our customers, industry peers, and NASCAR fans across the country."

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
