Automotive performance entrepreneur and long-time racer Kyle Tucker announced his acquisition of the driveline division of C&R Racing (South), known for performance radiators, transmissions and driveline components.

Tucker is the owner and co-founder of automotive aftermarket chassis and suspension parts manufacturer Detroit Speed Inc.

Located in Mooresville, North Carolina, with headquarters in Indianapolis, Indianapolis, C&R Racing (South) is a division of PWR Performance Products.  

Now under the same leadership of the Detroit Speed family, C&R Racing’s driveline division has been renamed GearFX Driveline, LLC, effective immediately.

GearFX will operate independently and retain its original C&R Racing staff.
 
“Throughout my relationship with C&R Racing, they have proven their reliability and commitment to quality through their long-time racing expertise,” Tucker said. “Now, I’m excited to bring that knowledge and racing technology to the street market.”
 
GearFX has plans to expand into the off-road market. The company will also manufacture rear gears and offer dyno break-in and testing, and REM polishing.

The company is also said to hand-pick part components based on track-tested quality and function. They assign a unique serial number and “birth certificate” to each new unit, an origin-labeling process that allows the customer to know exactly when and by whom the component was built.
