“All of us at Team M/T are really excited to intensify our participation in the ADRL through the introduction of this special program,” said Carl Robinson, Motorsports Manager for Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels. “Our association with the fastest growing organization in drag racing is great, and the teams racing here will be pushing their vehicles and our tires in order to be recognized as distinguished members of the Three-Second Club!”

Mickey Thompson will also act as the official sponsor of the onsite Media Room at all venues for the 2009 ADRL racing season providing snacks, beverages and more for the members of the media attending and covering the ADRL racing series.

“Mickey Thompson products have been competing in our race events since day one,” said Kenny Knowling, President of the ADRL. “We are privileged to have Mickey Thompson as the sponsor of this elite group in our Extreme 10.5 class.”

About The ADRL
The American Drag Racing League is one of the fastest growing classes in drag racing. Dozens of Outlaw Pro Mods compete nearly every weekend at tracks all over the United States for little or no prize money it's all about the racing. One thing that there is no shortage of, however, is spectators. Record crowds pack small tracks week in and week out to see these "Outlaws" put it all on the line. Ironically the Outlaw Pro Mods are called "Outlaws", because there are no performance restricting rules placed on them by sanctioning bodies, they consistently run elapsed times and speeds that are quicker and faster than conventional Pro Mods.
