(Pulaski, PA)…With 15 speedways set to host events in 2013, a jammed-packed Touring slate and over $120,000 in cash and product guaranteed through the various programs, the Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC RUSH Dirt Late Model Series is now busy working on contingency sponsors for the inaugural 2013 season.  One of the first companies to officially sign is K1 RaceGear based in Carlsbad, California.

 

“K1 RaceGear is pleased to announce that we will be a Major Contingency Member for RUSH,” explained K1’s Thomas Walden.  “We will be offering large discounts to RUSH drivers on ALL K1 RaceGear Manufactured products throughout the year.  With our full line of automotive suits and custom capabilities, we assure that each driver will look his/her best while maintaining SFI certifications.”

 

On Saturday, August 31, Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway will host “Manufacturers Night”.  Not only will this be a $1,500 to-win Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC Touring Series event, but over $30,000 in product is expected to be given away! 

 

K1 RaceGear will be large contributor on this night as they will give away one fully custom SFI 3.2A/5 racing suit with unlimited embroidery tailored to fit the racer’s body.  They’ll also waive the standard $50 design fee. 

 

Other prizes included two pairs of Pro X Gloves featuring a two-layer Nomex Construction with leather reinforcement that’s SFI 3.3/5 Certified along with two pairs of Pilot Nomex Shoes featuring low profile outsole for exceptional pedal feel that’s oil resistant rubber outsole, split-heel design for maximum sensitivity and agility, and of course SFI 3.3/5 Certified.

 

“We are very pleased to have K1 RaceGear join us as a Major Contingency Member in 2013,” stated RUSH Co-Director Vicki Emig.  “K1 has made inroads in the Crate Late Model world in our region and we’re glad to hear nothing but positive feedback.  Last year, Chad Shearer was the lucky recipient of the racing suit at Manufacturers Night.  Racers should be sure to watch their e-mail for monthly specials from K1.”
