The American Drag Racing League (ADRL) announced Feb. 6, that Summit Racing Equipment will retain its status as the Official High Performance Source of the ADRL for the 2012 ADRL Tour and will return as the title sponsor for the Summit Racing Equipment Ohio Drags VI presented by Mickey Thompson, scheduled for Sept. 28-29, at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
Additionally, Summit Racing will pay out contingency to each eligible winner and runner-up in each ADRL professional class (Pro Extreme, Pro Nitrous, Extreme 10.5, Pro Extreme Motorcycle, Extreme Pro Stock, Pro Modified and Top Sportsman).
“The 2012 season is shaping up to be a very exciting year for the ADRL,” Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports and Events Manager Jim Greenleaf said. “The ADRL puts on an amazing show and, with several new classes, it will be a great atmosphere at each race. We can’t wait to get the season started in Houston and we’re excited about the direction of the ADRL.”
In addition to offering contingency, Summit Racing Equipment will be as involved as ever with ADRL drivers, sponsoring a number of top-level competitors in a variety of classes.

“We have an exciting line up of drivers flying the Summit Racing colors in the ADRL in 2012, including Extreme Pro Stock driver Pete Berner, Pro Nitrous driver Rickie Jones, Pro Modified driver Kenny Lang and Marco Abruzzi in Top Sportsman,” Greenleaf said.
“Along with our support of these drivers, we will also be paying out contingency in all classes. There’s so many amazing classes in the ADRL and the contingency program is a great way to show the ADRL racers additional support.”
The 2012 ADRL Tour begins March 30-31 with CarSafe Dragpalooza VIII at Royal Purple Raceway, near Houston. It is the first of 10 stops at several of the nation’s most prestigious tracks.
“Partners like Summit Racing Equipment are crucial in making the ADRL successful, and we are thrilled to have them involved so prominently in 2012,” ADRL Executive Vice President Jeff Fortune said.
“They have tremendous knowledge in marketing to our fans and they have repeatedly shown impressive support and generosity to our fans and drivers. We are fortunate to have them as a partner and we hope for it to be a fruitful relationship for years to come.”
