Garret Race Cars Joins National Guard ADRL as Contingency Sponsor

Garret Race Cars Joins National Guard ADRL as Contingency Sponsor

O’FALLON, MO (May 28, 2009) — The National Guard American Drag Racing League (ADRL) is proud to announce Garret Race Cars as its newest contingency sponsor. Garret Race Cars is a full-service chassis building shop in Marble Hill, Missouri, and the source of two-time defending Pro Extreme champion Jason Scruggs’ record-setting 1968 Camaro. Garret also built the 2007 Dodge Stratus in which Scruggs won the 2008 Pro Extreme title.

“This is a big step for us, but I think it’s important to support the racers who support us,” said Garret Livingston, owner and founder of Garret Race Cars. “The ADRL is on a huge growth curve right now and we at Garret Race Cars want to help keep that growth going.”

National Guard ADRL Director of Sales and Marketing Shawnna Reynolds said Garret Race Cars is exactly the kind of sponsor the professional eighth-mile drag racing series is looking for.

“We’re so happy to have Garret Race Cars join us as an official contingency sponsor,” she said. “It’s important to the National Guard ADRL that our racers benefit from the sponsors we bring on board and likewise, that the sponsors see a real return on their commitment to us and the race teams. I think Garret Race Cars is a perfect fit in all respects.”

As a chassis builder, Livingston said he appreciates the National Guard ADRL’s minimal rules beyond those required for safety. It allows him creativity in building the next generation of lightweight, but super-strong race cars to go lightning fast while keeping their drivers safe and secure.

“I don’t want to build the same old car; I want to take things to the next level and the ADRL allows me to do that,” Livingston said. “I want to encourage that kind of thinking in other racers and teams, too, so that’s why I’m offering this contingency bonus to teams that win or runner-up in a Garret Race Cars chassis.”
