CELEBRATING NAPA’S 100 YEARS OF HISTORY AT BRANDS HATCH

07 May 2025

Category:

For 100 years, the National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA) has been serving customers with quality parts and expert service.

To celebrate, NAPA Racing UK’s four-time British Touring Car Champion, Ash Sutton, will be behind the wheel of a special livery inspired by the original colours and logo of NAPA. May 10-11th will see the BTCC visit the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit for the 2nd round of the series, with Ash leading the championship.

Watch out for Ash’s black and yellow NAPA Ford Focus and custom Alpinestars race suit. To mark NAPA’s centenary, Ash will be running the #100 and has commissioned Joe at Rennat Design to complete the look with a custom-painted Arai GP-7 helmet to match his suit and car.

Here’s to the next 100 years.

NAPA’S 100-YEAR HISTORY

In the 1920s, America fell in love with the automobile. The National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA) was established in 1925 to meet America’s need for an effective parts distribution system.

Throughout the decades, NAPA expanded to distribute NAPA-branded parts alongside industrial parts, electronic materials, commercial vehicle parts, and more. The brand has become synonymous with trust, professionalism, and tradition across the globe.

NAPA is now a market-leading brand in the UK and Ireland. With more than 40 product categories, NAPA offers a comprehensive catalogue of OE-quality aftermarket parts, accessories, and consumables to the UK and Irish market – and the commitment to quality doesn’t end there.

The championship-winning NAPA Racing UK team has launched the brand into the spotlight with a strong presence in the BTCC, MINI Challenge, and more. NAPA Truck keeps fleets moving with a quality range of commercial vehicle parts. NAPA Auto Parts boasts over 290 branches nationwide, joining a global network of over 6,000 locations.
