In-N-Out is the new title sponsor of the NHRA Finals, they are taking on naming rights of the Pomona Dragstrip at Pomona Fairplex

The Auto Club of Southern California had recently had naming rights to the track and to the NHRA Finals. This year’s finals will close out that partnership.

doesn't need a extra strong bumper, reinforced to pull thousands of pounds, connected to your frame

You can use it when your vehicle isn't around. 
it doesn't require mods to your vehicle's electric system
