Salem, IN (October 5, 2006) – A. P. Racing Engines stepped up today to become the second company in as many days to sponsor 20 laps of the upcoming 35^th Annual Ed Martin Auto Group Winchester 400 on October 15^th. Each lap is being sold for $25 and 100% of the sponsorship money goes to the driver leading the laps that are sponsored. The goal is to have all 400 laps sponsored which would give the 35^th Annual Ed Martin Auto Group Winchester 400 an additional $10,000 payout to the drivers supporting this prestigious event. Today’s A. P. Racing Engines and yesterday’s Port City Racecars sponsorships are each the largest amount of laps sponsored by individual companies to date.

Headquartered in Windsor, Ontario, A.P. Racing Engines has been a leading manufacturer of racing engines for several years. CRA Super Series feature winning drivers Eddie Van Meter and Andy Ponstein have won CRA Super Series events using engines from A.P. Racing Engines. More information can be found about A.P.
