MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Feb. 8) – Engine builders and the drivers of the United States Modified Touring Series will once again be rewarded for their efforts by COMP Cams for the fifth year in a row during the 2012 campaign.
The COMP Cams Engine Builder of the Year Award was launched at the start of the 2008 season to recognize the masters of the horsepower-making craft whose dedication, hard work and unparalleled expertise propel the mud-slinging USMTS Modifieds around America’s finest dirt ovals.
“USMTS puts on some of the most exciting and competitive Dirt Modified racing in the country,” said Chris Douglas, Vice President of Marketing for COMP Cams. “We’re proud to continue the long association between the performance minded staff at COMP Cams and the passionate drivers and teams that compete in grueling USMTS events all over the United States.
“We are fortunate to be in a position to be able to give something back to the racers and the racing community who use our products. We are also excited about sponsoring the USMTS Engine Builder of the Year competition, and we look forward to seeing a great field of racers this year.”
At the conclusion of the 2012 racing season, COMP Cams will dole out awards to the top five engine builders in the COMP Cams Engine Builder of the Year standings. For the drivers, the top five in points at the conclusion of the Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup and USMTS National Championship Series will be recognized, along with the top five in the USMTS Casey’s Cup Qualifiers.
Additionally, COMP Cams will also be a cash contributor to the points funds for the series.
To be eligible for the nearly $5,000 in contingency awards, each competitor must possess a USMTS license and display the approved COMP Cams decal at each USMTS event with no competing valve train or cam company decals.
Mullins Race Engines emerged as the COMP Cams Engine Builder of the Year for the second straight year in 2011. In all, 83 different engine builders scored points in the COMP Cams Engine Builder of the Year competition.
For more than 33 years, the COMP Cams mission has never changed: to produce the highest-performing products possible, provide customers with superior service, and to lead the industry in technological development. While the COMP Performance Group has grown to multiple companies and hundreds of employees, we still retain the competitive spirit and desire to be the very best that has positioned COMP Cams as the absolute leader in valve train components.
