Ignition specialist NGK Spark Plugs is backing the Wolverhampton Wolves Speedway team’s bid to win the 2018 Premiership.  The company is aiming to help the team build on its performance of last season when it narrowly lost in both the league play-off and Knock-Out Cup finals.

NGK is a keen supporter of Speedway, sponsoring a number of leading riders including four-time World Champion Greg Hancock. Mark Hallam, Marketing Manager, NGK Spark Plugs said, “We are delighted to announce that this season we will be an associate sponsor of Wolves. The team narrowly missed out on both the major Speedway titles last year but hopefully we can help them go one step better this season. Speedway is a real family sport and is followed by many of our customers. Our logo will be featured on all the riders’ leathers as well as on the safety fence on the track corners and we have also supplied all the team with pit bike mats which are really eye-catching. We will also be featured in the home race-day programmes and intend to hold VIP events for our customers at two meetings during the season.”

New Wolves captain Rory Schlein said, “For me personally, I am really pleased to be captain this season. We have a solid team and like all the other teams our priority is to make the play-offs and then take it from there. I’ve had a long relationship with NGK. Riders don’t use anything other than NGK racing spark plugs; you don’t get any better. It’s a worldwide brand like Coca-Cola.”
