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.”
