RacerSpacer Becomes an
Award Sponsor with CRA for the Remainder of 2009
Salem, IN (August 18, 2009) –
Champion Racing Association officials have announced that RacerSpacer
has agreed to become an Award Sponsor with the CRA Super Series for
the remaining events on the 2009 schedule. Starting with this Sunday’s
Budweiser CRA 150 Presented By The Kyle Busch Foundation, RacerSpacer
will award a $50 Product Certificate to the driver that leads the most
laps at each series event with the RacerSpacer Lap Leader Award.
RacerSpacer will also award a set of RacerSpacers by random draw of
the top 15 in final series points at the 2009 Champion Racing
Association Banquet.
Eco-Composites,
the parent company of RacerSpacer, is a Holland, Michigan based
company that develops and delivers sustainable products for a variety
of industries. With over thirty years of experience working on new
materials and product development in the auto industry and beyond,
they look for opportunities to replace traditional materials with
high-value, eco-friendly options that improve performance.
Eco-Composites became interested in
racecar parts through our affiliation with Perfect Circle Racing, and
this led them to explore product design for the racing community. The
RacerSpacer is a wheel spacer system that shares performance and
design criteria with a fan spacer that they build for cooling system
fans in the heavy truck industry. It is made with a sustainable glass
fiber composite, which offers the strength of traditional materials
such as aluminum or steel. With integrated aluminum bushings
co-processed
into
the recycled composite material, the parts are a fraction of the
weight of other spacers, with a much smaller environmental footprint.
The spacers come in five stackable, color-coded sizes from 1/16 inch
up to 1/2 inch and will fit 5x5 and 5x4.75 bolt patterns.
Perfect Circle Racecars has been
instrumental in the development of this product through input and
field-testing. Driver Brian Campbell has been very successful this
season with RacerSpacers on his racecar. He pointed out that the
spacers "literally take pounds off our unsprung weight, and that's a
huge advantage." RacerSpacer looks forward to hearing from other
drivers and crews about how the RacerSpacer works for them. They will
continue to use sustainable materials and environmentally friendly
approaches to design many more parts for racing professionals. Anyone
