Salem, IN (March 11, 2009) – Champion Racing Association officials have announced that Circle Racing Wheels has agreed to become a sponsor of the CRA Super Series South for the upcoming 2009 race season. The inaugural 2009 season for the CRA Super Series South is set to begin with the Watermelon 125 at Watermelon Capital Speedway located in Cordele, Georgia on Saturday, April 4th. That event will also feature a 125-lap event for the G.A.S Series.

Circle Racing Wheel will award a $75 Product Certificate to the eighth place finisher at every CRA Super Series South event during the 2009 race season. In addition, Circle Racing Wheels will award one set of four wheels by random draw of the top 15 finishers in final 2009 CRA Super Series South points at the 2009 series awards banquet.

"The folks at Circle Racing Wheels are proud to be a supporter of the CRA Super Series South in 2009," remarked Randy Rabinowitch of Circle Racing Wheels." We feel the CRA Super Series South and its events will provide us a great opportunity to present our products to some of the greatest Super Late Model Racers in the USA. Our line of Wide 5 and 5 on 5 Short Track Racing wheels are second to none!"

"We are very happy to have the support of Circle Racing Wheels with our new South series for the 2009 season," remarked Glenn Luckett, Managing Partner of Champion Racing Association. "It is going to be an exciting year with our new South series and we appreciate companies like Circle Racing Wheels stepping up to help support this new venture. We are expecting a lot of the top late model racers from the South to compete with us in 2009 and we are looking forward to a great season!"

Since the beginning of 2006, Circle Racing Wheels has been doing business under new ownership—as a division of Wheel Vintiques Inc., located in Fresno, California. Circle Racing Wheels president Mike Stallings has been involved in racing since childhood. Today, he campaigns both a 360 and 410 winged Sprint Car at local central California tracks, and occasionally runs with the big boys on the World of Outlaws tour. From a manufacturing standpoint, Mike's participation this is no doubt a "best of both worlds" situation, as it gives Stallings direct contact with racers and actual hands-on experience with the company's products —plus he has the flexibility to promptly transfer this input to Circle's design.
