Checkered Flag Performance and Meyer Motorsports Equipment to Provide
Bonuses for Drivers
ATHENS, GA (May 13, 2008) – The RC Cola / MoonPie ASA Southeast
Asphalt Tour announced today that it has teamed up with two industry
leaders in racing and safety equipment, Checkered Flag Performance
of Hoschton, Georgia, and Meyer Motorsports Equipment of Middleburg
Heights, Ohio.
Both companies will provide gift certificates, discounts and
other bonuses to ASA SAT drivers for the remainder of the 2008
racing season.
“We are honored to have two of the most respected names
in the racing industry team up with the ASA Southeast Asphalt
Tour,” said Stan Narrison, Promotions Director of ASA Southeast.
“Checkered Flag Performance and Meyer Motorsports Equipment
are well known in the short-track racing circles for their dedication
to the sport and their support of the racers, so we’re extremely
proud to have their support for the tour and its drivers.”
Checkered Flag Performance is teaming up with the RC Cola / MoonPie
ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour by offering contingency awards for
multiple drivers. Each race, Checkered Flag Performance will give
a $100 gift certificate to the drivers who finish in sixth and
16th place. Also, at the end of the season, a $1000 certificate
will be awarded to a driver at the banquet by a random draw.
“It’s important for us to support the ASA Southeast
Asphalt Tour so the drivers will have another avenue to get their
parts,” said Jeff Guthrie of Checkered Flag Performance.
“If you are not winning races, you can spend your entire
budget pretty quick. At the same time, if you are getting a gift
certificate for finishing sixth or 16th, it will help you for
the next race. Whether you tear up a 50-cent part or a $100 part,
it helps teams keep their cars on the track and it keeps their
program alive.”
ASA SAT has also joined forces with safety equipment distributor,
Meyer Motorsports Equipment. The partnership will provide a discount
for safety equipment such as head and neck restraints for registered
ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour drivers.
“Safety is the most import thing,” said Jon Meyer
of Meyer Motorsports Equipment. “We’re proud to offer
discounts for the head and neck restraints along with and installation
of the d-ring kits on new helmets. This allows us to know if the
drivers are using the safety equipment correctly and if not, we
can help them accomplish that. Safety is very important, and our
goal is to make sure that these products are used properly from
the seat to the helmet to the fire protective gloves.”
