April 5, 2013 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -
Defending 2012 Pro Stock Champion Allen Johnson will race his Dodge Avenger through the rest of the 2013 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing season sporting a fresh new look with Mopar's 'Express Lane Fast Oil Changes & More' message.
It's only fitting to have the new Mopar Express Lane paint scheme unveiled at the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals in Las Vegas this first weekend of April as it is designated National Car Care month and a way to remind drivers to get their vehicles inspected and properly maintained.
Currently more than 800 Chrysler Group dealerships provide dedicated Express Lane service for light maintenance like fast oil changes for all make and model cars, along with a world-class inspection, provided by highly trained Chrysler Group dealership technicians. Express Lane provides fast and convenient service without the need for making an appointment.
'I'm really excited to debut our new car with the Mopar Express Lane scheme at Las Vegas where I'm looking to defend our win there,' said Johnson whose decisive win at Las Vegas last fall during the Countdown helped secure his 2012 championship title. 'I took part in Mopar's promotion of Express Lane in 2010 and it's great to be able to tell people about what a great service they offer. Just like my team, they have highly trained technicians ready to get to work and get you back on the road in no time. That's the kind of service that gets you into the winner's circle and that's what I'm hoping to do quite often this year.'
'Allen Johnson and his team have been great ambassadors for the Mopar brand and we're excited to now have him help increase awareness of our world-class Express Lane service,' said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group's service, parts and customer-care brand. 'Allen and his dedicated Mopar team personify the kind of fast, professional service that our Express Lane provides everyday drivers to maintain their own Chrysler Group vehicles in top shape. It's important to note that thanks to our relationship with Magneti Marelli and Shell Lubricants, Express Lane also permits our dealerships to service all makes and model vehicles.'
