American Speed Association Midwest Tour Announces AP Racing Sponsorship

DAYTONA BEACH, FL (February 19, 2007) – The American Speed Association Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by Echo Outdoor Power Equipment is excited to announce sponsorship from AP Racing.

“I, along with everyone from AP Brakes, am elated to be able to support the ASA Midwest Tour. It is very important for us to align ourselves with the grassroots short track racing community and we felt that the Midwest Tour was an excellent choice for AP Brakes to get the most recognition. They have put together one of the most unique schedules I have ever seen and its a great deal for everyone involved,” said Brian Hoppe, Product Manager for Essex Parts Services, Inc., exclusive U.S. Stock Car Distributor for AP Racing products.

For over 30 years AP Racing has had one aim, to create winners on the racetrack. The world of Motorsports has changed over the years, during that time AP Racing has spearheaded every major development in brake technology. >From iron brakes to today’s carbon/carbon, AP Racing has shown the way.

“It's great to see companies like AP Brakes reaching out to the grassroots short track racers. Brian Hoppe does an awesome job marketing AP products and his support on race day has made them very successful. I look forward to a long relationship with AP for many years to come,” concluded ASAMT Vice President Steve Einhaus.

The ASAMT will celebrate the inaugural opening day April 28, 2007 at the Elko Speedway (MN) where AP Racing will award one set of front rotors valued at over $300.
