Michalek Brothers Racing has added Fund That Flip, a leader in providing short-term loans to experienced real estate investors, as a new major partnership to its A/Fuel Dragster team.
The team has had career-best results in recent competition and is preparing hard for a return to NHRA national competition in 2020 and 2021.
“We are honored and excited to have the opportunity to partner with the Fund That Flip team,” said Kyle Michalek, co-owner of MBR. “We believe there are many complementary strengths between our race team, the NHRA fan base and the Fund That Flip team that can be leveraged to benefit all parties involved. We have several ideas for engaging NHRA fans through social media efforts and track programming that we think will be impactful and a lot of fun. We can't wait to get this program underway and get back on the track and burn some nitro!”
Fund That Flip specializes in providing fast, reliable financing to experienced real estate investors who are renovating residential properties.
“Speed and reliability are at the core of our value proposition,” says Matt Rodak, CEO of Fund That Flip. “Drag racing embodies these values more than any other sport imaginable. When Corey stands at the line ready to sprint around the track, he wants to go as fast as possible, and to do that, everything needs to work perfectly. The same is true for real estate investors who are ready to start a fix-and-flip or new build project. They need to move fast, and to do that they need a capital partner they can trust. Speed and reliability are what we pride ourselves on.”
“This is a monumental day in MBR history,” added team co-owner Corey Michalek. “We've built our program for moments like this and are honored to have the opportunity to represent a brand like Fund That Flip. Kyle and I are excited to introduce such a promising non-endemic partner to the opportunities that the sport of NHRA drag racing has to offer. Words cannot express our positive anticipation for what's to come.”
Expected highlights for the team include MBR’s first-ever appearance at the DENSO Spark Plugs NHRA U.S. Nationals, the most prestigious drag race in the world, and the 2020 season finale at zMAX Dragway, where the team advanced to the final round in two of the three races they competed in, along with four additional stops to be determined when the 2021 schedule is announced.
