NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Holley Performance Brands (“Holley”) (NYSE: HLLY), home to a portfolio of iconic automotive brands serving enthusiasts across the high-performance aftermarket, and CJ Pony Parts ("CJ Pony Parts" or the "Company"), a portfolio company of Century Park Capital Partners ("Century Park"), announced today that CJ Pony Parts has acquired select restoration-focused brands from Holley, including Scott Drake and Brothers Trucks.
"This transaction reflects our continued focus on building a more focused Holley," said Matthew Stevenson, President and CEO of Holley Performance Brands. "Scott Drake and Brothers Trucks are strong brands with loyal enthusiast followings, and we believe that CJ Pony Parts is exceptionally well positioned to support their customers, partners, and long-term growth. For Holley, this divestiture allows us to reduce complexity and concentrate our resources on the core performance verticals that define our strategy and that we believe drive the greatest value for our customers and shareholders."
"CJ Pony Parts has a proven playbook for taking great brands and reaching enthusiasts directly, and we saw the results firsthand with American Powertrain, which was acquired in 2024," said Adam Zacuto, Principal at Century Park. "Scott Drake and Brothers fit that model perfectly. By plugging them into CJ Pony Parts' marketing engine, fulfillment network, and customer service organization, we believe there is meaningful runway to grow both the direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels."
"We are thrilled to bring Scott Drake and Brothers Trucks into the CJ Pony Parts family," said Mike Large, President and CEO of CJ Pony Parts. "These are brands our customers know and respect, and many of our own people helped build them. Our priority is to expand inventory depth, support our wholesale partners, and give Mustang and classic truck enthusiasts the expertise and service they expect from CJ Pony Parts."
"Scott Drake and Brothers Trucks are exceptional brands with real equity among enthusiasts, and we have known and admired them for a long time," said Guy Zaczepinski, Managing Partner of Century Park and Chairman of CJ Pony Parts. "CJ Pony Parts has the team, e-commerce capabilities, and category expertise to support these brands and serve their customers. We could not be more excited to welcome them to the family."
Holley and CJ Pony Parts will work closely together throughout the transition to help ensure a seamless customer experience. Both teams are committed to maintaining uninterrupted service, meeting customer demand, and working to ensure there are no disruptions to product availability or order fulfillment.
