• Sun Auto Tire & Service named official sponsor of Top Dragster and Super Stock driver Ty Gaynor
• Partnership connects Sun Auto Network to grassroots racing and high-performance competition

MESA, Ariz., March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Auto Tire & Service has announced a new sponsorship with Ty Gaynor Motorsports, supporting Top Dragster and Super Stock driver Ty Gaynor as he competes on the NHRA circuit.

The partnership reflects a shared focus on performance, precision, and consistency, values that matter just as much in the service bay as they do on the drag strip. As part of the partnership, Sun Auto will be featured on Gaynor's race cars and supporting his journey throughout the season. As Gaynor competes at tracks across the country, the Sun Auto Network — now more than 575 locations nationwide — will travel with him.

A third-generation drag racer, 18-year-old Gaynor began in Junior Dragsters before advancing through the ranks of NHRA competition. In 2025, he earned his first NHRA national event win at the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals, capturing the Top Dragster title with a near-perfect reaction time and a pass approaching 200 miles per hour.

"Growing up around my family's shops that are now part of the Sun Auto Network, it feels like everything's come full circle having that logo on my cars," said Gaynor. "What started as family is now a network of more than 575 locations across the country."

Sun Auto leaders say the partnership is a natural extension of the company's roots in automotive service and its connection to performance at every level." Whether it's in the shop, in the pits or on the track, consistency, precision and performance matter," said Matthew Loos, Chief Marketing Officer at Sun Auto Tire & Service.

As part of the 2026 season, Gaynor will compete in NHRA Super Stock and Top Dragster events, with his first race taking place this weekend.
