Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. will continue as the official tire of the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) through 2015. Toyo’s Proxes RA1 first became the spec tire for select racing classes in 2002.
In addition, Toyo Tires returns as the title sponsor of the NASA Championships at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course. The tiremaker also will increase the payouts in its NASA contingency program.
Drivers in 13 different spec classes, as well as time trial and non-Toyo spec classes, are eligible to earn Toyo Bucks when they win on Toyo tires. Details can be found on the NASA website at nasaproracing.com/contingency.
“Toyo Tires is proud to support NASA and the amateur racers who put their cars through the paces every weekend,” said Stan Chen, manager of events and motorsports, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. “NASA provides a great platform which offers everything from high performance driving events, to time trial and wheel-to-wheel competition with a wide variety of car classes. With our extensive tire line-up, we have the products to match.”
