Hoosier Tire Returns as PDRA Sponsor for 2015
PITTSBORO, N.C. January 19, 2015: Industry support for
the Professional Drag Racers Association has continued
to increase since the organization’s inception one
year ago. New companies have come on board and
companies that were involved in the inaugural season
are stepping up with greater commitment for 2015.
Hoosier Tire continues their role and will again be
supporting the PDRA in their sophomore season.
“We are grateful for the commitment of companies like
Hoosier,” stated PDRA’s Bob Harris. “They have a great
reputation in the industry and it means a lot for them
to back us as we grow in our reputation as the world’s
premier eighth-mile drag racing association. We
welcome Hoosier and their team back in 2015 and look
forward to working with them.”
The “Tires Designed for Champions” motto that Hoosier
totes is well understood in the PDRA with many of the
organization’s frontrunning teams sporting Hoosier
Tires. In fact the majority of the 2014 PDRA Champions
won their respective titles on Hoosier Tires: Bubba
Stanton (PX), Jason Harris (PN), Todd Tutterow (PB),
Dan Ferguson (TS), and Travis Harvey (TD).
“We are always trying to support any sanctioning body
that promotes racing,” stated Hoosier Drag Racing and
Pro Street Product Manager, Steve Hudspeth. “We love
the ‘go fast’ classes because it challenges us and our
products to be the best. Hoosier Racing Tire only
produces racing tires. This by itself demands that we
produce the best performing product possible.”
Hudspeth plans to attend all ten PDRA events in 2015,
along with trackside service, to assist customers with
their on-site needs. Pertinent to PDRA Top Dragster
competitors, Hoosier will be introducing a new
15.0/34.5-16 C1500 Tire for the class this year.
“Racers demand a tire that will repeat from run to
run, as well as set to set... and it has to be fast,”
Hudspeth concluded. It’s this type of tire that
Hoosier will again be bringing to PDRA competition in
2015.
