Following years of powering dozens of dirt racers across America, Danny Crane Racing Engines will become the title sponsor of the hot pit at all USMTS events in 2024.

The Danny Crane Racing Engines USMTS Hot Pit will be the official area where the crew members of competitors can come for new tires or tend to repairs during a race.

Located in Columbia, Mo., Danny Crane Racing Engines was established in the spring of 2023 after Crane purchased most of his equipment through Stoen Racing Engines.

In addition to bolstering the year-end points fund for USMTS racers, Danny Crane Racing Engines will provide 15% off the cost of freshening or new DCRE engine to the sixth-place finisher at every event, plus certificates to the top three in the final national points.

Danny Crane Racing Engines specializes in USMTS and USRA engines and will be taking care of all your engine needs. Whether it be for a freshening or a brand new powerplant, Danny Crane Racing Engines has the tools to get you into the winner's circle at Summit USMTS National Championship events.

Call Danny Crane at (573) 819-5198 for more information.
