LeMans Corporation has named John Strangfeld the new Drag Specialties National Sales Manager, effective immediately. After riding, racing and working within various powersports dealers for more than 20 years, Strangfeld has always taken an active role in this industry. His roles have included working in every facet of the dealership, including selling V-Twin motorcycles in the late 90’s. This industry experience eventually led him to LeMans.
"I have had the fortune to work in various capacities within LeMans for the past 22 years,” says Strangfeld. “I am honored to be working with the Drag Specialties team and our valued dealer network. I look forward to working with the entire LeMans family to continue growth and brand momentum for Drag Specialties."
He started with LeMans as the Moose Racing Sales Manager back in 2000. Strangfeld then served as a territory sales rep from 2004-2020. In January of 2020, John was named a Parts Unlimited National Sales Manager. His sales management and team lead experience along with his personal enthusiasm for The Motor Company products, make for a seamless transition to the Drag Specialties position.
“This is a bittersweet announcement; we all miss Jim Matchette every day,” notes VP of sales Jeff Derge “Jim and I were planning for his retirement and shared a common vision for the future of Drag Specialties. John is a key part of that vision, and the entire Drag team is excited have him leading them forward.”
