Salem, IN (March 4, 2009) – Champion Racing Association and 51 Sports have announced that 51 Sports has agreed to become a sponsor of both the CRA Super Series and the newly formed CRA Super Series South for the upcoming 2009 racing season.

"The CRA Super Series has always been strong in the Midwest, but with CRA adding a southern series as well, it makes them one of the best products in short track racing," remarked Bob Dillner, Owner and Co-Founder of 51 Sports and Speed51.com. "They have a professionalism and marketability that ranks right up there with the best around the country. We are pleased to be part of CRA this year and I believe both parties will benefit from the association."

51 Sports will award the fifth place finisher at every CRA Super Series and CRA Super Series South event with a $51 Product Certificate that can be used towards website production, PR releases or hero card design. In addition 51 Sports will award a complete hero card design to the fifth place finisher in final 2009 points for the CRA Super Series and CRA Super Series South.

"We are hoping to give back to the racers with our award program with CRA," added Dillner. "In this tough time, it is important to give racers a break and that’s why we wanted to offer $51 to the fifth place finisher of every Super Late Model event. Everybody is clipping coupons these days and this is a coupon of sorts. It also helps us spread the word about the name, 51 Sports (parent company of Speed51.com), which offers websites for as low as $750, full PR campaigns and hero card designs."

"It’s great having 51 Sports come on board to support our racers," remarked R.J. Scott, Managing Partner of Champion Racing Association. "Bob, Matt and the entire 51 crew have done an outstanding job with the Speed51 website and their 51 Sports company. They are one of the leading supporters of Super Late Model Racing in this country and should be very proud of what they have accomplished. We greatly appreciate everything they do for CRA and our racers!"
