TV Appearances
Clay’s never short on words personality
and success at the race track with ESPN and NHRA Drag Racing
has landed him some unique opportunities away from the
track. Speed TV and TV producer Rich Christensen recognized
his unique appeal to Drag Racing fans and selected Clay as
Host for the Speed TV Drag Race High Series for 2009. Clay
also hosted the series Blow It Up for Speed TV in 2007.
“He is colorful, energetic and genuine in his love for
the sport, his team, and his sponsors, and that passion
comes through in everything he does. In short, he is an
asset to the race team and his sponsors both on and off the
track.”

Reporter, on Clay Millican

In
2008, Memphis businessman, Mark Pickens, took on a new
business challenge, NHRA Top Fuel Team Owner. After a few
years sponsoring Clay’s Top Fuel team Mark decided to take
on the race team business with his wife Lauren.
Mark’s not short on business and racing success. He’s been a
successful Top Sportsman racer and understands what it takes
to win on the race track and in the board room. His board
room success stems from several businesses such as the
Armstrong Relocation family of companies.
Armstrong employs over 1,450 full-time employees and
owner-operators, dispatches nearly 500 trucks, and operates
over 1,000,000 square feet of warehouse space. Mark and his
business partners are recognized leaders within the
industry.
Armstrong is one of the largest hauling and booking agents
within the entire United system of nearly 500 agencies
across America. Mark is focused in bringing the same
successes to MPE Motorsports as he has done with other
businesses.
