returns as FAST series title sponsor in 2010
By Bryan Autullo -
F.A.S.T. Public Relations
(Maumee, OH) The Fremont/Attica
Sprint Title (F.A.S.T.) is pleased to
announce that Kistler Racing
Products will return as the series title
sponsor for the 2010 racing
season. After a successful inaugural season, the
F.A.S.T. series is excited
about continuing its relationship with the
Kistler brand. Kistler Racing
Products and Kistler Engines are very well
known in 410 sprint car
racing and to have them associated once again with
the Fremont/Attica Sprint
Title is a shot in the arm for the series. Kistler
Racing Products, a division
of Kistler Engines, is well into their 2nd year
of operation and will once
again bring their expertise to the racers at
Fremont Speedway and Attica
Raceway Park where the chase for the 2010
Kistler Cup will begin once
again in April. “Kistler Engines continues to be
an icon in 410 sprint car
racing and has powered sprint cars to victory at
every level of this sport
since 1993," said F.A.S.T. co-founder Bryan
Autullo. "Paul Kistler knows
the sprint car business and when it comes to
making horsepower he gets
the job done. I want to thank Paul, Dave, and
Brian for their continued
support of our vision for this area."
The F.A.S.T. Championship
Series paid out nearly $30,000 in cash and another
$30,000 in contingency prizes
and awards in 2009. Craig Mintz was crowned
Champion at the October
awards banquet and took home the Kistler Cup trophy.
"We couldn't have done it
without the support of Kistler Racing Products and
the rest of the great businesses
who contributed to this point fund," said
Autullo. "All of the sponsors
and advertisers who stepped up and made this
concept a reality should
be commended. We are comitted to making things
bigger and better for the
upcoming season and we'll have more big
announcements soon." The
F.A.S.T. point fund is paid in addition to the two
individual track point funds.
The competitive hot bed of 410 sprint car
racing in Northern Ohio
produced 3 different Champions with Mintz hauling
home the F.A.S.T. series
hardware as Chris Andrews took the Attica Raceway
Park track championship
and Brock Mayes wore the crown at Fremont Speedway.
This was the first time
any of the three had won a championship title The
F.A.S.T. series is working
on the 2010 schedule in conjunction with the two
tracks and planning several
off-season events. FASTfest II, The 2nd Annual
Racer's Chili Challenge,
and a few other events are in the works for the
winter months to keep the
fans involved all year long. Look for the F.A.S.T.
display at upcoming area
mall shows, trade shows, swap meets, and the
Kistler Engines/Kistler
Racing Products 2nd Annual Open House on January
9th. "We are committed to
keeping the fans involved throughout the winter
months," said series co-founder
Scott Porter. "Race fans are a very
tight-knit community and
there aren't many things to do when its cold
outside and the snow is
falling. We try to give everyone something to look
forward to during the winter
months." The F.A.S.T. group is also working
with Kistler Racing Products
to produce some new merchandise that will be
revealed soon to the racing
community. "We don't slow down when the racing
stops," added Porter.
