Micro Strategies Sponsors NMCA Stock & Super Stock Classes In 2023
 
Santa Ana, California [Jan 17, 2023] — Following the successful split of the Stock and Super Stock Eliminator last season, NMCA is proud to announce that Micro Strategies signed on to sponsor both classes for the 2023 NMCA Muscle Car Nationals season. 
 
If the name sounds familiar, Micro Strategies is an information technology firm founded by Anthony Bongiovanni, who regularly competes in Stock and Super Stock eliminators across a range of sanctioning bodies. The company also backs other team vehicles that compete in these classes, including NHRA world champion driver Dan Fletcher, so you have surely seen the logo on the front of a wheels-up muscle car.
 
“Drag racing is a fantastic sport on many levels, from car building and tuning to racing and connecting with people at the track. At the core we are Stock and Super Stock racers,” Bongiovanni said. “We have Cobra Jet Mustangs set up for both classes, and along with myself, my daughter Michelle drives. In fact, she’s a past winner of the Cobra Jet Showdown, which we’ve won twice as a team. It’s really a perfect fit, and we’re excited to be a part of the NMCA family.”
 
Micro Strategies Stock Eliminator and Micro Strategies Super Stock are handicap break-out eliminators based on the legacy NHRA and IHRA categories with NMCA indexes to include a wide range of classic and modern vehicles. They allow muscle and sports cars built since the ’60s to complete, including the 2023 COPO Camaro 632 combination, which is approved at 530 HP for the FS/A or FS/AA class.
 
“I love cars, the speed, and the challenge of making race cars go fast. I also like using technology, learning, and implementing it. We use Holley EFI for engine tuning and Racepak software for chassis and suspension tuning, as well as Crew Chief Pro data recording and weather prediction. I also use the new DragInsights.com app to help with statistical data on the competition and myself. It’s a great tool that’s new and available to all racers and fans. But there’s also a people element to drag racing, it’s unlike any other sport,” Bongiovanni said. “I saw that it’s a good way for people to get introduced to Micro Strategies. There are certainly not many conversations I have with customers where drag racing doesn’t come up. It’s been great to do something we enjoy and have a really good business purpose. When you start understanding all the analytics that go into not just the cars, but everything else surrounding racing — like the track conditions and weather — it’s similar to a lot of the things we do technology-wise for our customers.”
 
These two classes and all the other NMCA categories will kick off the season with the 21st Annual Scoggin Dickey NMCA Muscle Car Mayhem Presented by Holbrook Racing Engines at Orlando Speed Word from March 16-19, 2023.
 
“Our Stock and Super Stock categories continue to grow in popularity, and the addition of a sponsor that gets these categories is sure to help them grow this season,” said Steve Wolcott, President and CEO of NMCA. “Anthony Bongiovanni is passionate about this form of racing, and his company, Micro Strategies, has long supported racers in these classes. It is a perfect fit for NMCA to have his company associated with these classes.”
