"The PMRA has proven itself to be a solid drag racing series," said Craig Fairchild of Competition Tire's Craig Fairchild. "We want to be a part of this, and we will offer a contingency award to the low qualifier and winner of each event if they are running Goodyear Racing Tires."
"Goodyear has won more racing championships than any other tire company in the world," noted Bruce Mehlenbacher, Director of Operations for the PMRA. "I have known the Fairchilds and Competition Tire for over 20 years and their company has a major history with motorsport. Having them involved in the PMRA series is great, and their faith in the series to return for a third year is rewarding."
Competition Tire Canada is one of Canada's top auto racing suppliers. Based in the Niagara Peninsula, Competition Tire has been offering quality Goodyear motorsport products and service for over two decades in road course, oval track, and drag strip racing.
Goodyear's racing heritage reaches back almost to the very first car race at the turn of the 20th century. In the early years auto makers were just beginning to see the wide-open possibilities of a sport called automobile racing. From then until now -- with one major interruption -- Goodyear's enthusiastic involvement with motorsports has grown as fast as the size of the crowds. The company produces more than one-half million tires a year for races of all kinds, all over the world.
PMRA tour stops in 2008 include two dates at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario, Dunn Tire Raceway Park in Lancaster, New York, Sanair in Quebec and the Southwestern Ontario track of Grand Bend Motorplex.
Negotiations are underway with several US race tracks based in Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania with the plan of presenting a seven-event PMRA drag racing series this season.
