At NAPA Auto Parts, performance and purpose go hand in hand.  

Today, NAPA Auto Parts proudly announces its support of Race Against Dementia, the charity founded by Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, through its title sponsorship of NAPA Racing UK. 

Race Against Dementia is dedicated to accelerating research into the prevention and cure of dementia. By funding pioneering scientists and applying the high-performance mindset of Formula 1 to medical research, the charity is driving innovation and urgency in the global fight against dementia. 

As part of this commitment, colleagues from across the NAPA Auto Parts network will collectively run over 1,082 miles, the equivalent distance from Penzance to Aberdeen, travelling virtually via Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the iconic Knockhill Racing Circuit in Scotland before the BTCC race weekend on 8th and 9th August.   

This nationwide challenge reflects NAPA Auto Parts’ extensive presence across the UK and Ireland, and the strong sense of community shared across the automotive and motorsport industries. By combining their miles, colleagues will demonstrate teamwork, resilience, and collective determination, values that are fundamental in advancing vital dementia research.
