INDEPENDENCE, Iowa -- The United States Racing Association announced today that Real Racing Wheels will be an contingency sponsor for the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series for the 2006 season.

"We are thrilled to announce Real Racing Wheels as a sponsor of the USRA," said series president Todd Staley. "Jerry and Troy (Boubin) have been long-time supporters of grassroots racing in the Midwest, and we are privileged to have Real Racing Wheels become part of the USRA family."

As part of their commitment to USRA competitors, Real Racing Wheels will contribute to the season-ending points funds, and will also award product certificates to the top-5 finishers in national points for all USRA classes: Pro Modifieds, Modifieds, Stock Cars, Hobby Stocks and B-Modifieds.

Located in Independence, Iowa, Real Racing Wheels uses only 6061-T6 true aircraft two-stage heat-treated structural grade aluminum, spin construction and a highly-polished finish to produce a stronger first-class wheel that is second to none. Like the name says, Real Racing Wheels are racer engineered, which means they designed by, and with the help of, real racers.
