SCDRA Welcomes Schaeffer's Oil as Presenting Partner
Woodruff, South Carolina (September 24, 2025) - The Sport Compact Dirt Racing Association (SCDRA), America's leading dirt racing series for Compact race cars, is proud to welcome Schaeffer's Oil as the presenting partner for the 2026-2028 SCDRA Touring seasons. The series will be known as SCDRA presented by Schaeffer's.
"I really appreciate having Schaeffer's Oil join our program. This is a tremendous partnership with a trusted national brand. Hopefully this will allow us to grow the series and increase our brand recognition while also providing Schaeffer's the opportunity to grow their business and gain new customers while getting quality products into the hands of our racers. I look forward to hosting dealers and spreading the word about a brand that I use and believe in." said SCDRA presented by Schaeffer's Oil Director Kelley Carlton.
“We’ve worked with Kelley Carlton through the Wild West Shootout since 2019 as well as a few other enterprises, and we’ve always been impressed with how well they have been operated,” said Dawn Cross, Branding and Marketing Director for Schaeffer’s Oil. “When the opportunity came up to support a grassroots program like SCDRA, we knew it was a good fit for our racing program. We have a strong history of supporting dirt racing, and this series allows us to bring more racing to fans and racers.”
For over 175 years Schaeffer's has been family owned and operated. In 1839, Schaeffer Manufacturing Company provided greases and oils for wagon trains and steamboats. Times and technology changed. So did Schaeffer. Since then, they've developed many of their current concepts in lubrication, including advanced additives for performance, friction modifiers for fuel economy and synthetics for extended lubricant life. Today, racing is just one of many specialty platforms that Schaeffer produces lubricants for.
At Schaeffer, we appreciate how much work and energy it takes to fuel your passion for racing. Our racing products help you spend less time replacing parts and changing fluids and more time on the track. Schaeffer’s racing oils reduce friction, wear, and heat and are designed for extreme performance to enable racers to finish strong. During intense racing conditions, our products deliver unmatched protection that lasts long after the final lap. Season after season, racers depend on Schaeffer’s racing products to get more races from their engines.
