Total Seal Piston Rings, the provider of piston ring technology and manufacturing, has announced that Lake Speed Jr. has joined the company as the new Vice President of Sales & Marketing. Speed is known as a certified lubricant specialist and previously worked with Driven Racing Oil.

“Joining Total Seal is the next step in my journey of Tribology, which is the science of friction, wear, and lubrication. The piston ring is the motor oil’s best friend, so it only makes sense to join Total Seal. I have first-hand experience gaining horsepower with their great line of products at Joe Gibbs Racing, and Total Seal has been a Driven Racing Oil customer for seven years. Together we have learned a lot about piston ring seal, so I’m enthusiastic about this great new opportunity to explore and improve engine efficiency together,” Speed said.

“We welcome Lake to Total Seal. There [is] a multitude of sales and marketing opportunities we want to take advantage of, and we feel Lake is the right person to direct our advancement. His years of experience in racing, technology development in all types of engines, ability to see opportunities in various industries, and his dedication to the sport and industry are important to us going forward,” Total Seal President and CEO Matt Hartford said.

Total Seal manufacturers piston rings for several applications, including racing, high-performance street, diesel, marine, and more. Its product lines include Gapless, Diamond Finish, Advanced Profiling Steel, Advantage, TNT, and Conventional piston rings, as well as a line of ring tools and specialty lubricants.

Speed will present a seminar focusing on oils and fuels at the 2019 PRI Trade Show in Indianapolis. For more information, visit here.
