Bridgestone to Remain Official Champ Car Tire Through 2009

(Akron/Tire Review) Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire (BFNAT) announced that the Bridgestone brand will remain the official tire of the Champ Car World Series through at least 2009.

BFNAT and Champ Car signed a multi-year deal last November that secured BFNAT’s official tire status for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. As of this past weekend, BFNAT has met the provisions required for the automatic contract extension for the 2009 season.

“Bridgestone has been a strong and very valued Champ Car partner since the brand joined the series in 2002,” said Steve Johnson, Champ Car president and CEO. “We’re delighted that Bridgestone is certain to remain the official tire of Champ Car through at least 2009. At that time, the Bridgestone/Firestone family will have been involved in Champ Car for 15 years.”
