DES MOINES, Iowa — Fast Shafts and the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) are proud to announce a continued three-year partnership that will see Fast Shafts as the Official Driveshaft of the USMTS in the 2026 season.

As part of the agreement, Fast Shafts will serve as the Title Sponsor of Heat Race #2 at USMTS events, further solidifying their presence at the track and commitment to the racers. In addition, each Heat Race #2 winner will receive a 10% Fast Shafts product certificate, delivering immediate, tangible value to competitors across the tour.

The partnership also includes a significant product giveaway component. Fast Shafts will donate one carbon fiber driveshaft at five different USMTS events during the 2026 season, rewarding competitors with one of the most advanced and trusted driveline components in dirt racing.

Capping off the program, Fast Shafts will award a $500 product certificate to the 2026 USMTS National Champion, reinforcing their support of excellence and championship-level performance.

"The team at Fast Shafts is excited to continue the relationship and ongoing support of the USMTS series.  The series invades many regions throughout the country, helping keep the racing world active, fun, and exciting.  The Staley family works their tails off keeping tracks open and working with promoters to give the racer’s a place to race, while providing the most intense races.  Racing is stronger than ever, but it’s a collaborative effort and Fast Shafts will support as needed to keep it as so, and help grow the sport.  Best of luck to all competitors in 2026"  said Beau Kaplan & the Fast Shafts team.

Fast Shafts has long been a leader in high-performance driveline solutions for dirt and asphalt racers nationwide, and this partnership aligns perfectly with the USMTS mission of delivering elite-level modified racing across the country.

The USMTS looks forward to welcoming Fast Shafts to the series in an elevated role and showcasing their products throughout the 2026 season and beyond.
