SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark. – Officials from the United States Modified Touring Series announced today that Quarter Master has renewed their commitment to the drivers of the USMTS National Tour and USMTS Southern Series as a contingency sponsor for the 2009 season.

As part of their commitment to USMTS competitors, Quarter Master will award product certificates to drivers at each USMTS event, with a $100 certificate to each Holley "A" Main winner and a $50 certificate to the eighth-place finisher. In addition, Quarter Master will be a cash contributor to the year-end points funds for both the USMTS National Tour and USMTS Southern Series.

Located in Lake Zurich, Ill., Quarter Master began operations in 1972. Since that date, Quarter Master products have enjoyed a long history of track-proven race-winning results. That long-standing enjoyment has come from a “race-team-like effort” with attention to detail, and from listening and responding to the racer. Quarter Master products are built to exceed the racer’s demand and need for reliability, high performance and durability.

Quarter Master provides winning clutches and driveline components to racers from superspeedways to bullrings, from the IRL to Rally and from NASCAR to the USMTS. Quarter Master products are designed from the knowledge and experience of racers utilizing state-of-the-art engineering software such as AutoCAD, 3D modeling and FEA. In addition, Quarter Master products are CNC-manufactured by an experienced staff to the toughest quality standards to outlast and outrun the competition.

To be eligible, licensed competitors must display an approved Quarter Master decal in the required location on the racecar.
