NEXEN TIRE PARTNERS WITH FCA US LLC FOR 2019 SPRING FEST – 14TH ANNUAL EVENT DEDICATED TO DODGE AND CHRYSLER MUSCLE CARS

Dodge Highlighting 2019 Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 Which Features Nexen Tire Street Legal Drag Radials

Diamond Bar, Calif. -- Nexen Tire America, Inc., a worldwide leader in high-performance, passenger, SUV/light truck and winter tire technology, has partnered with FCA US LLC for the 14th annual Spring Festival at the historic Auto Club Raceway at Pomona on March 23. The celebration is a gathering of more than 2,000 Dodge and Chrysler vehicles from the rear-wheel drive platforms which include the Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger. As the OEM tire supplier to various Dodge, Chrysler and RAM vehicles, Nexen Tire will be represented on the official event T-shirts, event photo frames, and on the 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 which features Nexen Tire N-Fera SUR4G Drag Spec tires.

Spring Festival draws hundreds of other late-model, rear-wheel drive Dodge and Chrysler vehicles spanning the last 14 model-years. Thousands of passionate car owners, enthusiasts, gear heads and spectators from around the world descend on the annual event to celebrate what has become one of the most popular muscle car platforms in the world. A wide range of stock and highly-customized muscle cars will be on display in addition to the 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320.

With a quarter-mile elapsed time of 11.7 seconds at 115 miles per hour, the showroom-stock 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is the fastest naturally aspirated, street-legal muscle car available. The impressive quarter-mile time is achieved on the Nexen N’Fera SUR4G Drag Spec tires that come stock on the vehicle. Available in only one size, 275/40R20 102W, the N’Fera street-legal drag radial features a non-directional tread pattern that allows unrestricted tire rotation to extend the life of the tire at the drag strip. The proprietary tread compound is exclusive to the Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 and the tire has been tested around the country on multiple tracks to ensure maximum performance regardless of surface.

"Spring Fest has grown into one of the celebrated gatherings of late-model Mopar muscle cars in the world and it is very exciting to have the opportunity to highlight our N-Fera SURG4G street-legal drag radials at an event attended by so many enthusiasts," said Megan Wentz, marketing manager for Nexen Tire. “We are very proud of our relationship with FCA as an OEM tire supplier for the Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 and other FCA vehicles, and events like these allow us to show our commitment to dedicated fans of the Mopar community.”
