YORBA LINDA, Calif. (March 11, 2022) — NK Seeds has partnered with John Force Racing for the 2022 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series. The leading seed brand offers a broad portfolio of corn hybrids and soybean varieties, packed with the broadest range of leading technologies and fueled by global R&D from Syngenta.
“We’re really excited to welcome NK Seeds to the John Force Racing family,” says team owner and CEO, John Force. “NK Seeds delivers the very best in cutting-edge agricultural technology and works hard to assist their customers in producing unmatched production every season. That same drive for a winning combination is exactly what we strive to do for our fans and partners. We are excited to work with NK Seeds and grow together.”
Syngenta says this partnership is a natural fit, given the common attributes needed to succeed in drag racing or farming.
“Winning in drag racing is about the synchronized combination of speed, precision and power, and that’s what we do every day at NK Seeds,” says Jim Shertzer, Head of NK Marketing. “We develop high-performing corn hybrids and soybean varieties using a similar coordinated combination of speed, precision and power to help farmers win in their fields — because success matters, on the racetrack and on the farm.”
The NK Seeds brand will make its debut on all four (4) John Force Racing cars at this weekend’s prestigious Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway.
