PRODUCT BULLETIN: NEW SPRINT DIRT TIRE AIR PRESSURE RECOMMENDATIONS

WAYCROSS, GA (February 27, 2013) - Officials of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series are excited to announce an exclusive partnership with Hoosier Tire as the "Official" Race Tire for the series and a new tire rule implemented for all series sanctioned events in 2013. The new agreement with Hoosier Tire will reduce the amount of tires needed including limited compounds and constructions.

With this new agreement the LOLMDS is taking steps to reduce the costs and burden of carrying so many tires to a LOLMDS event. The series has always welcomed two tire manufacturers to compete on the series but the competition among the tire companies created too many compounds and new constructions for race teams to keep up with and be prepared. With our previous tire rule, race teams were having to purchase the same amount of tire constructions and compounds as compared to the open tire rules before the series began.

"Hoosier has been involved with the Lucas Oil Late Model Series from its beginning." said Dennis Sherman, vice president of sales and marketing for Hoosier Racing Tire. "When we consider a partner, we focus on the vision of the sanctioning body, the participants, and the strength of schedule. We are proud to become the official race tires of Lucas Oil Late Models."

“Hoosier has been the tire of choice for ASCS on the right rear wheel position since the start of the 2000 race season and on behalf of everyone at Hoosier Racing Tire we are extremely pleased to continue this long-standing relationship,” commented Neil Cowman, Hoosier Product Manager.  

"We are excited to be associated with a class organization like ASCS, Emmett and the entire Hahn Family. It offers us the opportunity to showcase our products on a nationwide stage in both the U.S. and Canada,” said Paul Menting, Hoosier Sales Manager. MORE

King of the West Sprint Car Series Managing Director Dan Simpson is excited to sign with Hoosier for the upcoming season to align all winged sprint car series and tracks in California with the same tire. “This will be great for west coast sprint car racing and will help unify the sport out here by having everyone on Hoosier Racing Tires.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (May 25, 2012) -- Jerry Coons, Jr. dominated Friday night's 59th running of the USAC "Hoosier Hundred" at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The Tucson, AZ driver led 87 of 100 race laps en route to the win.

HOOSIER ENDS SUPPORT OF TSMA SERIES

LAKEVILLE, IN (January 30, 2012) -- Hoosier Racing Tire regrets to inform the drivers, owners and promoters who race with the TSMA organization that it will be unable to continue its support of the sanctioning body in 2012.

“It is never an easy decision to end a relationship like this,” stated Hoosier Product Manager Shanon Rush. “Although we were close to coming to an agreement for 2012, the recent rule changes proposed by TSMA would not allow competitors racing on Hoosier Tires to have a fair chance at the championship. We also reviewed last year’s point standings and very little of our sponsorship was reaching our dedicated Hoosier customers. It's time to take our support back to those who support Hoosier Tires.”

“This philosophical change does not weaken our commitment to Modified racing,” reiterated Mr. Rush. “It is our intent to continue open competition tire development, race track and driver support, and support for organizations that support Hoosier Tire and our Distributors. We wish TSMA and those drivers who support it good luck and apologize that we were unable to reach an agreement for 2012.”
