For a second straight year, prolific passers in USMTS main events will earn a crisp $100 bill from FK Rod Ends during the 2019 campaign.

The nation’s premier manufacturer of precision rod ends and spherical bearings, the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award will recognize the highest-finishing driver that most improves his or her starting spot to finishing position in every USMTS feature race this year.

With American-made quality and dependability, the Official Rod Ends of the USMTS came onto the scene more than 35 years ago and quickly won over their customers with fair pricing and plenty of inventory. While the industrial market struggled to get product from the old standbys, the racing market embraced a supplier that would maintain inventory throughout the limited season.

Recently, to further assure timely delivery, FK Rod Ends set up two regional warehouses. Filled to the brim with inventory, these warehouses can offer localized service for emergency orders.

Over the years, the FK Rod Ends product line has grown to encompass many different industries. From the wilds of Baja Mexico to the touring titans of the USMTS, from mowers to care for your lawn to fitness equipment to groom your body, you'll find FK Rod Ends.
