MOOG® Steering and Suspension Brand Extends NASCAR® Sprint Cup Title Streak to 47 Years
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Brad Keselowski Becomes 20(th) Different Driver Since 1966
to Win Championship with MOOG Components
Southfield, Michigan, November 20, 2012.After 47 years, 20 different drivers and
countless product innovations, one thing hasn't changed for Federal-Mogul's
(NASDAQ: FDML) MOOG(®) steering and suspension brand: It remains the technology
of choice of NASCAR(®) Sprint Cup champions. The automotive aftermarket's
premier brand of steering and suspension parts extended its Cup winning streak
to 47 years when Brad Keselowski and the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge clinched their
first title in Sunday's Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami (Fla.) Speedway.
The Penske Racing-owned team finished the year with five wins, 13 top-five and
23 top-10 finishes - each delivered with the help of MOOG parts. It's the first
Cup title for the 28-year-old Keselowski, his crew chief, Paul Wolfe, and team
owner and racing icon Roger Penske.
"When you look at the list of champions dating back to the beginning of our
streak in 1966 - names like David Pearson, Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, Dale
Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and now Brad and Roger - you realize
that this brand has been an integral part of the entire modern era of NASCAR
racing," said Michael Proud, director of marketing, North America, Federal-
Mogul. "Crew chiefs, team owners and drivers prefer MOOG because they know our
parts are engineered to help win championships. This same standard is applied to
every MOOG component installed by automotive repair technicians across North
America."
The brand's trademark "Problem Solving" engineering philosophy - which includes
the development of innovative designs combined with premium-quality materials -
helped MOOG-equipped teams earn 11 of the 12 positions in the season-ending
Chase for the Sprint Cup.
The MOOG product line includes an array of high-quality steering and suspension
components - including ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, idler and pitman
arms, sway bar links, complete strut assemblies, and hub assemblies - covering
virtually any foreign-nameplate or domestic vehicle. These parts are available
through thousands of automotive service locations and parts providers throughout
the U.S. and Canada.
