ATRO 2025 Grand Opening & Open House!
St. Clair, Missouri, September 25, 2025
ATRO officially celebrated the Grand Opening of our new headquarters in St. Clair, Missouri. At the ribbon cutting, CEO Rich Ryan marked the moment alongside the Mayor of St. Clair, local and state representatives, our customers, and our team and their families.
Inside, our operations team showcased our new production facility built for scale, efficiency, and growth. This facility also serves as the central hub for our regional distribution network, supporting our global sales operations.
The event featured food trucks, a bounce house for the kids, guided tours, and a special highlight: a visit from Shawn Reed and his NHRA-winning SRR team and car, sponsored by ATRO Racing. They brought the race car inside our building, where Shawn signed hero cards and took time for photos with our guests, our team, and their families.
It was a special day in St. Clair, and we’re grateful to our team, customers, suppliers, community partners, stakeholders, and everyone who has helped make this moment possible.

Shawn Reed Racing Roars Back: Victory and Record at IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series
Darana Raceway, Hebron, OH, September 7, 2025
The IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series returned to Darana Raceway (formerly National Trail Raceway) in Hebron, Ohio for a high-power weekend showdown—and Shawn Reed Racing made it unforgettable.
After overcoming a serious crash in Seattle just weeks prior, Shawn Reed climbed back into the cockpit and absolutely dominated. In a final showdown against drag racing legend Larry Dixon, Reed blasted down the quarter-mile in a staggering 3.819 seconds at 327.75 mph, securing first place and a spot in the record books with the fastest speed of the weekend.
The Darana Raceway venue—steeped in drag racing history since its 1964 opening—hosted the adrenaline-fueled Outlaw Nitro Series featuring 12,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars. The event drew top-tier competitors and streamed live on IHRA.TV and Speed Sport 1, heightening the stakes for all involved.
Reflecting on the win, Reed said, "That win was pretty epic for us. We won Bradenton at the beginning of the year, and it’s been a long road...including crashing in Seattle...so it’s a good job to Rob Wendland and the guys to get us down that right lane with a pretty good number too."
This victory—and record speed—marks a powerful comeback for the team. It demonstrates their resilience, technical mastery, and sheer determination to return stronger than ever. Congratulations to Shawn, Rob, and the entire crew for getting the car back to the track.
Seeing you all in the winners’ circle again shows what this team can achieve. Here’s to keeping that momentum rolling all the way to the top!

ATRO Parts fuels the fastest show on earth with Shawn Reed Racing sponsorship!
St. Clair, Missouri, March 21, 2025—Top Fuel racer Shawn Reed and his Reed Trucking & Excavating team are pleased to announce the addition of ATRO Parts as an associate-level sponsor, kicking off a four-race agreement that will see Reed fly the ATRO logo on the side of his 11,000-horsepower machine starting with this weekend’s NHRA Arizona Nationals near Phoenix.
“When you hit the throttle on a nitro-fueled high-horsepower machine, and blast down the track at 330 miles-per-hour in under four seconds, you greatly appreciate the quality, durability, and reliability of the parts in the vehicle underneath you,” said Reed. “Whether it’s in our Top Fuel car or my fleet of Reed Trucking & Excavating heavy-duty vehicles back in Washington, those attributes are not an option, they’re a necessity. We rely on ATRO’s parts to keep things operating smoothly at our ‘day job,’ and we’re proud to now represent them on the race track starting with this weekend’s event at Firebird Motorsports Park.”
Beyond his outing in Phoenix, Reed will carry the ATRO logo on his Top Fuel dragster during the NHRA Winternationals next weekend in Pomona, Calif., as well as the Indianapolis and Dallas events, scheduled for later in the season.
