Vance & Hines has the NHRA's winningest woman racer Angelle Sampey campaigning the company's new four-valve Suzuki-powered race bike in the 2021 NHRA Camping World series. The team’s recipe for a successful championship 2021 also includes adding global food giant Mission Foods. 

“I’m so excited to be part of the Vance & Hines team again this year,” says Sampey.  “This is a first-class company that gives me the best bikes I’ve ever ridden. I’m feeling really good about what we can accomplish together this year.”  Sampey will be among the first to ride the new Vance & Hines four-valve Suzuki. The 1850cc motor delivers nearly 400 horsepower and will be paired with a custom chassis developed using data from thousands of runs in NHRA competition. 

"We're happy to be working with Angelle once again," adds V&H CEO, Mike Kennedy. "Vance & Hines is in a wonderful position right now. We’ve got one of the top riders in the sport aboard our outstanding new equipment and we have Mission Foods as our new Team Partner. I couldn’t have hoped for anything better as we go into the 2021 season.”   

A three-time NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle champion, Sampey's 43 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle wins make her the NHRA's top female athlete. She has the fourth most wins in NHRA PSM history.  In 2019 and 2020 Sampey was a member of Vance & Hines' Harley-Davidson-sponsored team. 

Multi-billion-dollar company Mission Foods, the world's largest manufacturer of best-selling tortillas, joins the effort as a sponsor of the new team. The food giant shows its passion for motorsports with sponsorships in IndyCar, AFT and GT3 racing and now enjoys relationships with both Arrow McLaren SP and Vance & Hines. 

"Terry Vance and I have talked about putting together a race team, and I was overjoyed to get his invitation to work with Angelle and the Vance & Hines crew," said Juan Gonzalez, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mission Foods. "NHRA has a great tradition and loyal fan base, we can't wait to see our brand and products at this year's NHRA races." 

Sounds like a real recipe for success!
