In 2008, Memphis businessman, Mark Pickens, took on a new business challenge, NHRA Top Fuel Team Owner. After a few years sponsoring Clay Millican’s Top Fuel Team, Mark decided to take on the race team business with his wife Lauren. Mark is a successful Top Sportsman racer and understands what it takes to win on the race track and in the boardroom. His boardroom success stems from several businesses such as the Armstrong Relocation’s family of companies where the Pickens and their partners are recognized leaders within the industry. Lauren is passionate about Hope4Sudan, a project she established which builds compounds with deep water wells, schools, medical clinics and churches in war torn Southern Sudan. The Pickens are focused on bringing the same passion and success to MPE Motorsports.
