 Concord,
NC (January 18, 2010) – DIRTcar Racing today announced the continuance of
Hoosier Racing Tire as the approved tire for UMP Modified competition. First
introduced 20 years ago, the premium A40, D40 and H40 have become the standards
in Modified racing.
“Hoosier always has been, and continues to be an integral part of DIRTcar
Racing's mission to bring racers a standardized rules package, making it easier
for any driver to race anywhere, at any time,” said Sam Driggers, UMP DIRTcar
Regional Director.
Also announced is the arrival of the DCM400, a tire engineered to be used as
DIRTcar Racing expands into its newest sanctioned regions. The DCM400 tire is
designed for series, weekly tracks, and racers who prefer a one-compound spec
tire program. It utilizes a chain link tread pattern for durability with a
consistent, high-grip compound. The sidewalls and air pressure settings will be
similar to the current UMP tires.
The Hoosier DCM 400 is a purpose built tire specifically for tracks in the
West, South, and Northeastern United States participating under DIRTcar
Racing's sanction.
“With the new DCM400 tire, Hoosier Tire is making another significant
investment in DIRTcar Racing as they have the past 20 years,” said Driggers.
“Sam and the entire World Racing Group staff have done a great job of
continuing the visions of UMP founder Bob Memmer.” stated Hoosier Product
Manager Shanon Rush. “UMP DIRTcar, and organizations like theirs, are the
backbone of Hoosier Racing Tire’s success and we are proud to continue our
support in 2010 and beyond.”
