IMCA renews pact with Hoosier through 2015

LAKEVILLE, Ind. – IMCA has renewed its con­tract with Hoosier Racing Tire through the 2015 season.

Hoosier will continue to manufacture and distribute the IMCA stamped G60-15 tire for the Modified, Stock Car and Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod divisions; the IMCA SCL stamped tire for Late Mod­els; and the IMCA stamped 500 tire for Southwest Rac­ing Specialties Southern SportMods.

“We requested proposals from multiple racing tire manufacturers,” IMCA Vice President of Operations Brett Root said. “We elected to continue our relationship with Hoosier Tire based on those proposals.”

“Hoosier is the largest manufacturer in the industry and they produce a tire that is well within the criteria we feel meets the needs of our member drivers,” he added.

The Lakeville, Ind., company will continue contrib­uting to national point funds for each of the five divisions and give contingency awards at the IMCA Speed­way Motors Super Nationals.

“IMCA has had an exclu­sive spec tire rule for almost 30 years,” Root said. “That rule has proven cost effective for competitors regard­less of the supplier.”

The initial five year contract with Hoosier began in 2006 and continues through 2010.
