Sunnen Products Co. adds its SV-series honing machines to the engine department of Hendrick Motorsports —which has earned a record 14 car owner championships in NASCAR’s premier division.
Hendrick Motorsports has named Sunnen Products Co. its Official Honing Equipment Partner as the race team pursues its record-extending 15th NASCAR Cup Series championship. The partnership puts the Sunnen SV-series honing machine in the Hendrick Motorsports engine operation alongside other Sunnen honing and engine building machines.
