ROSWELL, Ga. -- Officials from the United States Modified Touring Series announced today that Roswell, Ga. based Genesis Shocks has signed on as a contingency sponsor of the USMTS for the 2011 racing season.

As part of their inaugural program with America's premier modified series, Genesis Shocks will dole out product certificates to the champion in each of the six regions on the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour and to the 2011 USMTS National Champion.

“Genesis Shocks is pleased to partner with the USMTS in 2011,” said Genesis Shocks co-founder Mike Farr. “Our association with the USMTS will allow us to reach out to the grassroots racers to continue our commitment to build only the best in shock absorber design and engineering at an affordable price.”

Having been affiliated over the years with renowned shock companies such as Carrera and Pro, Farr started Genesis Shocks in March of 2006 along with Mike Lutz. With well over 50 years of combined experience in the shock absorber and racing industries, Genesis Shocks has grown by tremendous proportions.

Genesis Shocks is building winners and champions one race at a time. The dedication to providing only the best in shock absorber design, engineering, and manufacturing has resulted in countless victories and hundreds of Championships from Genesis Shocks customers at dirt tracks across the country.
