Team Sahlen is thrilled to announce its official partnership with Rennline for the 2026 endurance racing season. This collaboration marks the next step in a long-standing relationship between the championship-winning race team and the industry-leading Porsche performance parts manufacturer.
For years, Team Sahlen has relied on Rennline’s premium components to keep its Porsche Boxsters competitive and reliable under the extreme demands of endurance racing. The team has outfitted its cars with Rennline’s 4-Piece Pedal Sets, CSF Racing Radiators, Wheel Spacers, Steering Wheel Disconnects, and AeroCatch Hood Fasteners, among other upgrades.
Now, in 2026, Team Sahlen and Rennline are taking their relationship to the next level — collaborating not only on the track but also through co-branded digital content to engage fans and enthusiasts worldwide.
Team Perspective
Will Nonnamaker, driver for Team Sahlen, expressed his excitement about the partnership:
“We have been fans — and loyal customers — of Rennline for years. To officially partner with them is incredibly exciting. Together, we’re going to create fresh and engaging online content that will be fun for both Rennline customers and our Team Sahlen fan base. Most importantly, this collaboration ensures that we continue to equip our cars with the best components available, which is critical when you’re racing the equivalent of six 24-hour events every season.”
Reliability is key in endurance racing, where even minor equipment failures can end a race. “Leaking radiators will put you out, malfunctioning hood pins can ruin a pit stop,” Nonnamaker explained. “In six seasons of competition, we have never had a pedal set failure from Rennline — which says everything about their quality and precision engineering.”
Rennline’s Commitment
Tim Morris of Rennline shared his enthusiasm:
“We are thrilled to have Team Sahlen serve as official brand ambassadors for Rennline. Their history of excellence and passion for the sport perfectly aligns with our mission to deliver high-performance, precision-engineered products. We’re confident that, together, we will keep these Porsche Boxsters at the front of the field and continue to engage and inspire the automotive enthusiast community.”
Looking Ahead to 2026
Team Sahlen will continue its tradition of competing in premier endurance events across multiple series, including:
- Tire Rack ChampCar Endurance Series
- NASA Team Racing Endurance Challenge
- Lucky Dog Racing League
The 2026 campaign kicks off at the Daytona 14-Hour Enduro in April, with the team’s iconic Porsche Boxsters taking center stage:
- #942 “Ketchup” Porsche Boxster – Piloted by Joe Sahlen and Will Nonnamaker
- #943 “Mustard” Porsche Boxster – Piloted by Joe Nonnamaker and Wayne Nonnamaker
Team Manager Allen Wells added:
“We’ve trusted Rennline products since our days racing Porsche Caymans in IMSA back in 2014. When we built our Boxsters in 2019, Rennline parts were among the first components we installed. We’re excited to continue this relationship and push even harder in 2026.”
