This weekend, professional off-road racer Casey Currie will pilot his "Trophy Jeep®" in the King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley, California. Combining brutal rock crawling and wide-open desert runs, King of the Hammers is considered the toughest, one-day, off-road race in the world.
It's also the perfect location for the Jeep® brand and Mopar to launch a strategic partnership and retailing agreement with Casey Currie, as he demonstrates how true off-road performance is built while inspiring fans and customers to keep pushing the limits with parts and accessories designed and engineered for the most extreme terrains.
"King of the Hammers is the ultimate proving ground for off-road performance, and there's no better partner than Casey Currie to showcase what Jeep vehicle capability is all about," said Bob Broderdorf, Jeep CEO. "This race demands strength, durability and precision at every turn. That's exactly where Jeep engineering shines. Designed, tested and proven in the most extreme conditions on Earth for the most extreme off-road community anywhere."
"Jeep has been a big part of my family for generations. It's an honor to be sponsored by Jeep and join the Mopar family of affiliates to offer our performance off-road products," Currie said. "To have Jeep with us at King of the Hammers and the iconic Jeep name on my Trophy Jeep is beyond exciting to me."
In addition to his racing and marketing efforts, Currie's family business Currie Enterprises has entered into a retailing agreement with Mopar Affiliated Accessories, making a wide array of high-performance rear-end assemblies, differentials and axle components for off-road racing, rock crawling and street performance, available for order through authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram dealerships across the United States.
Founded in 1959, Currie Enterprises has become an industry leader in drivetrain components, joining the growing number of affiliated suppliers whose products have been reviewed by Mopar for proper fitment and are guaranteed by each supplier separately.
