MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Officials from the United States Racing Association are proud to announce that COMP Cams is back on board as a contingency sponsor of the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series for the 2011 season.

As part of their program to support the drivers and teams of the USRA, COMP Cams will award product certificates valued at $3,000 to the top three finishers in the final points standings for four classes: USRA RHS Modifieds, USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks.

“COMP Cams is proud to continue our sponsorship and contingency programs with the USRA during the 2011 season,” said COMP Cams VP of Marketing Chris Douglas. “COMP Cams is a company made up of both current and former racers, so we understand how important that support is. In order to give back to the racers and the racing community who support and utilize our products, we offer one of the most extensive circle track contingency programs in the performance aftermarket.”

In addition to valuable product awards, COMP Cams will also contribute cash to the national points funds for all four divisions.

For more than 32 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.

COMP Cams has never forgotten that performance is defined by results – both at the track and on the street. Whether they’re working with a Pro Stock or USMTS Modified team, or putting thousands of grueling miles on one of their pro touring or street/strip components, COMP Cams tests theirr products in the same places you do. That’s why they know that every COMP Cams product will perform to the highest of standards.

The USRA was founded in 2002 with the sanctioning of Modifieds and Stock Cars at the Thunder Valley Speedway in Fayetteville, Ark. Hobby Stocks were added in 2003 and the organization grew steadily over the next three years with 14 tracks hosting USRA events in 2005. The B-Mod division arrived on the scene in 2006 and since then, USRA Weekly Racing Series national champions have been crowned in all four premier divisions.
