DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Crane Cams has joined the USMTS family of contingency sponsors for the 2013 racing season, officials announced today.

As part of their inaugural program with the Best of the Best in open-wheel dirt modified racing, Crane Cams has earmarked more than $2,000 in product certificates for the winners of every main event during the 2013 campaign, as well as awards for the top three finishers in the final points standings.

“We are excited about the opportunity to work with the great people at USMTS,” stated Terry Johnson, Ignition Product Manager at Crane Cams. “2013 will be the start of a long relationship with the series and the teams.”

In addition to rewarding competitors with discounts on quality products, Crane Cams will also contribute  cash toward the season-ending points fund.

Crane Cams began in 1953 as Harvey J. Crane Jr. made his first camshaft in his father’s shop in Florida. The company grew and enjoyed its first success in the auto racing world in 1961 when Pete Robinson won the NHRA Nationals in Indianapolis.

Today, Crane Cams is proud to be a company that manufactures American-made products. Their priority is to make products that are designed, manufactured, machined and assembled in America.
