<B>INDEPENDENCE, Iowa --</B> The O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series announced today that Real Racing Wheels will be an Official Sponsor of America's Premier Modified Series for the 2006 racing season. Real Racing Wheels will be the sponsor of the B-Mains at all O’Reilly USMTS during the 2006 season.

"We are thrilled to announce Real Racing Wheels as the B-main sponsor of the O’Reilly USMTS," said series president Todd Staley. "Jerry and Troy (Boubin) have been long-time supporters of grassroots racing in the Midwest, and we are privileged to have Real Racing Wheels become part of the O’Reilly USMTS family."
