MASON CITY, Iowa — Officials from the United States Modified Touring Series announced on Monday that Awesome Race Suits will be the Official Race Suit of the USMTS for the 2008 racing season.

Located in Mason City, Iowa, and online at www.awesomeracesuits.com, Awesome Race Suits offers a full suite of quality racing accessories that are second to none in both appearance and protection.

With Awesome Race Suits you will find that safety, quality, comfort and design ranks #1 in the motorsports industry. From the weekend novice racer to the professional race teams, customers are finding a higher standard in Awesome Race Suits.

As part of their commitment to USMTS drivers, any driver that purchases a new Awesome Race Suit between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2008, will have his or her name entered into the drawing for a free custom-designed Awesome Race Suit in 2009.

Drivers must submit proof of purchase to USMTS headquarters to claim eligibility, and the winning driver's name will be drawn at random on Jan. 2, 2009.

"Awesome Race Suits produce one heck of a product, and we are thrilled to be associated with them in 2008," said USMTS president Todd Staley. "Several of our drivers such as Kelly Shryock, Mark Noble and Jason Krohn have already discovered the Awesome difference, and say they wouldn't switch brands if they had to pay double. Now, those guys and the rest of the USMTS competitors can get a high quality custom-designed Awesome Race Suit for free in 2009!"

Awesome Race Suits are designed for long-lasting flame and thermal protection. Nomex Custom Race Suits are very cool and comfortable to wear and are single-, double- or triple-layer constructed using premium quality woven and fleece knit Nomex Aramid Materials.
