BANGOR, Wis. -- The United States Modified Touring Series is proud to announce that Wehrs Machine & Racing Products has joined the USMTS family of contingency sponsors for the 2011 season.

“All of us at Wehrs Machine & Racing Products are so excited about our new association with the USMTS Modified Tour,” said owner Chad Wehrs. “As a leader in dirt modified suspension components, we look to improve our brand awareness and product development with this relationship.”

As part of their inaugural program with America’s premier modified touring series, Wehrs Machine & Racing Products will award product certificates to the top three drivers in final standings within each region, a product certificate to the competitor finishing sixth in each event during the Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Championship, a set of Dual Roller Bearing Steel Suspension Cages to sixth in final points, as well as contribute to the USMTS points funds.

“The caliber of competition in the USMTS is first class, and that is the kind of products that we develop here at Wehrs Machine & Racing Products,” Wehrs added. “Our WM200 Dual Roller Bearing Steel Suspension Cages are the finest on the market with a modular design that allows for easy plate replacement as well as quick design changes.”

Wehrs Machine & Racing Products also offers a Dual Bearing Brake Floater (WM200-16), Limit Chain Holder with Bearing (WM210S), Limit Chain Adjuster for the Frame (WM214), Arc Climber Pinion Mounts (WM205), Arc Climber Frame Mounts for 1-1/2" or 2" tube (WM212), and Steel Adjustable J-Bar (WM40S).
