CYPRESS, Calif. (Feb. 27, 2013) — Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. has renewed its title sponsorship of the Cadillac Challenge for the 2013 season and will award the winner of each event with a set of Toyo Proxes R888TM DOT competition tires.
The race series, which kicked off last weekend at Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, Calif., is the first and only race series designed exclusively for Cadillac automobiles, Toyo said. It features 11 events throughout 2013 spanning race tracks such as Laguna Seca, Infineon Raceway, California Speedway, Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, Buttonwillow Raceway, Willow Springs Raceway, Spring Mountain Motorsport Ranch and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The series concludes in December.
"We are very excited to continue as the title sponsor of the Cadillac Challenge," said Stan Chen, manager of events and motorsports for Toyo. "It is a great series that offers Cadillac drivers competitive racing and showcases the performance of our competition tires."
Toyo offers several competition products including the Proxes R888 and the Proxes RS1TM full-slick competition tire. The Proxes R888 provides improved dry performance on the track while maintaining wet traction and control, Toyo said, and cars equipped with the tire have won races in professional and amateur road racing, time attack competition and autocross.
More information on registering and upcoming race dates is available at the Cadillac Challenge website.
