EL CAMPO, Texas -- The drivers that compete with the United States Modified Touring Series are widely regarded as the Best of the Best when it comes to slinging dirt and steering a ton of steel around America's dirt tracks.

USMTS drivers have a heavy right foot, and now they have a new sponsor that knows a thing or two about heavy lifting.
