The last time Hector Arana Jr. landed a one-race deal, he made the opportunity count. Now, on drag racing’s biggest stage, the second-generation Pro Stock Motorcycle racer is looking to make lightning strike twice.
Arana Racing has signed TCX Global to a one-race partnership for the NHRA U.S. Nationals, Sept. 4-6, at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. The event will mark TCX Global’s first entry into NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle competition.
For the global time-critical logistics company, the U.S. Nationals provides an opportunity to introduce its services to a sport where timing and precision are essential. NHRA teams spend much of the season transporting motorcycles, engines, parts and support equipment from one track to the next, making reliable logistics critical to keeping race programs on schedule.
“Motorsports is an industry where timing matters at every level, and that makes TCX Global a natural fit for our team,” Arana said. “The U.S. Nationals is the biggest stage in our sport, so we’re excited to welcome TCX Global to Arana Racing for this event and introduce their capabilities to the NHRA community. Whether you’re trying to get a motorcycle to the starting line or critical equipment across the world, there is no room for error.”
For Arana, the partnership also represents another opportunity to showcase his team and deliver a strong result at one of the most prestigious events on the NHRA calendar.
Arana Racing has decades of experience in professional motorcycle drag racing. The family-operated team knows the work required to get a motorcycle to the starting line goes well beyond what happens once it reaches the pits.
TCX Global works in many of those same high-pressure situations, although not all of them involve a Christmas tree and a quarter-mile.
The company operates in more than 30 countries across six continents and handles time-sensitive transportation for motorsports, live entertainment, broadcasting, fashion and other industries. Its services range from express air freight and air charter to dedicated road transportation, customs work, maritime freight and on-board courier service.
“The U.S. Nationals provides an exciting opportunity for TCX Global to strengthen our presence in American motorsports alongside Arana Racing,” TCX Global Managing Director Enea Lombardi said. “Racing represents exactly the type of environment in which we excel: demanding schedules, complex movements and a need for absolute reliability. We look forward to joining Hector and the Arana Racing team in Indianapolis and building relationships throughout the NHRA community.”
