Officials from the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) announced today that they have formed a new marketing partnership with COMP Cams — The Absolute Leader In Valve Train Performance.
As part of their support during the 2008 racing season, COMP Cams will offer a three-pronged program which will benefit both drivers and engine builders participating in both the O’Reilly USMTS National Tour and O’Reilly USMTS Southern Series.
The newly-created COMP Cams Engine Builder of the Year Award is the first of its kind in the 10-year history of the USMTS, and will recognize the engine builders whose dedication and hard work propel the USMTS Modifieds around America's finest dirt ovals.
“There are many people involved in making a driver a winning driver with the USMTS,” said USMTS president Todd Staley. “Thanks to the support from COMP Cams, this is a great way to shine the limelight on one of the groups of unsung heroes in our sport.”
USMTS officials will soon announce a points system whereby all engine builders of USMTS drivers will gain exposure through the program, with the year-long program recognizing the top five points earners in the COMP Cams EBotY at season's end. Drivers and/or engine builders may register at no charge for the program. Call 515-297-3835 or email media@usmts.com for more information.
Drivers displaying COMP Cams decals will also benefit from the support of COMP Cams, with awards earmarked for the top three finishers in each of the four O’Reilly USMTS National Tour regions, as well as the O’Reilly USMTS Southern Series. The top five in national points at the conclusion of the Casey's General Stores Hunt for the USMTS National Championship will also be recognized.
For the icing on the cake, COMP Cams will also be a cash contributor to the points fund for both the O’Reilly USMTS National Tour and O’Reilly USMTS Southern Series.
“We’ve watched this series grow by leaps and bounds over the last several seasons and couldn’t be happier to finally have the opportunity to get involved,” said COMP Cams Marketing Director Chris Douglas. “We know that the USMTS drivers are among the best modified racers in the country and we plan to work closely with them as we seek to continuously make our products better. The COMP Cams engineering team has spent a lot of time developing camshaft designs specifically for dirt modified racers and I would encourage USMTS engine builders to give us a call to see how we can help their program.”
