ORLANDO, FL. (December 12, 2010) – Already the producer of engines for some of the top drivers in the highly-competitive Extreme Pro Stock (XPS) class, the American Drag Racing League (ADRL) is pleased to announce that Jon Kaase Racing Engines will be a sponsor for the first time starting in 2011.
The sponsorship agreement was reached on Saturday at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show in Orlando.
Both companies were eager to release the signing, which will allow for numerous growth opportunities on both sides.
"We're very excited to be on board for 2011. We want to support the competitors and the ADRL as it keeps moving forward," Jon Kaase Racing Engines Project Manager and Engine Builder Cliff Moore said. "We want to support the organization everyone is running.
"It's great exposure for us. It's a perfect relationship for us, absolutely. The ADRL is growing, without question."
The 2011 ADRL season begins on March 25-26 in Baytown, Texas, and will feature nine events that take place across the United States and run through October.
"We've enjoyed seeing our Extreme Pro Stock drivers succeed with these amazing engines and we are thrilled that they have stepped up to become a sponsor for our 2011 season," ADRL Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brian Evans said.
"This is just the start of an amazing relationship and I know Jon has some great ideas in store to help continue to make XPS the place for some of the best side-by-side drag racing around. There is a lot more to come out of this and we are excited to see what the future holds with Jon Kaase Racing Engines."
Jon Kaase Racing Engines are at the heart of numerous XPS cars, including class standouts like Brian Gahm, the winningest XPS driver in ADRL history, Bob Bertsch, Trevor Eman and Cale Aronson.
With more than a dozen XPS teams using the engines, it's a testament to the time and detail put into each powerful product.
"There's a reason why all the top teams have it and that's because of the quality," Moore said. "We put a lot of time into the product to make it a quality one."
With its strong attention to detail when it comes to everything from headers to engines, the company's innovative measures are also appealing to bracket racers or anyone who races on a local level.
Thanks to the sponsorship agreement, Jon Kaase Racing Engines will be able to reach out to an even bigger portion of potential consumers at ADRL events, which draw enormous crowds at every track.
"This is a great way for them to reach a huge number of fans who also have their own cars or are interested in driving one," Evans said of the 2011 partnership.
