Every year, NGK Spark Plugs produces a special calendar that features twelve of the top racers in a variety of categories that use NGK Spark Plugs in their vehicles. The U.S. division of NGK Spark Plugs, located in Wixom, Michigan, has long been a supporter of racing in the hundreds of different types of vehicles and thousands of racers around the country that use their spark plugs.
