FOSTORIA, Ohio (February 27, 2026)—The United States Modified Touring Series is proud to announce that Callies Performance Products has renewed its commitment as one of the Engine Builders of the Year sponsors for the 2026 USMTS season.

Callies Performance Products will once again stand behind the people who form the backbone of dirt track racing , the engine builders. Their continued support reinforces a long-standing partnership built on performance, innovation, and a shared dedication to excellence at every level of motorsports.

With decades of engineering knowledge and skilled employee experience, Callies has grown into an industry leader in high-performance engine components. The company takes pride in staying ahead of the competition by leveraging cutting-edge technology and advanced manufacturing processes. By utilizing state-of-the-art computer-aided solid modeling and CNC machining centers, Callies consistently delivers some of the best-designed and highest-quality crankshafts, connecting rods, and camshaft cores available anywhere in the market.

As part of its 2026 commitment, Callies Performance Products will once again provide year-end awards to the top five engine builders in the final USMTS Engine Builder points standings, recognizing the precision, innovation, and hard work that power the most competitive Modified drivers in the country.

“Engine builders are a critical part of what makes this series thrive,” said Vice President of Marketing Ryne Staley. “Callies Performance Products understands that, and their continued investment in honoring those professionals speaks volumes about their commitment to the sport.”
