    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Feb. 17, 2016) — Weld Racing L.L.C., which manufactures forged alloy wheels for drag racing, has been named the official wheel of the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA).

    The company also has unveiled its 2016 IHRA bonus program in which it will award $100 to event winners in the IHRA Pro and Sportsman classes who use Delta-1, Black Draglite, Full Throttle and TT63 Weld Racing wheels during 2016 competitions.

    To be eligible for its bonus program, competitors are required to place a Weld decal (of the appropriate size) on their vehicle at the beginning of each event and leave it in place during every round of competition, according to the custom wheel maker.

    “Weld is proud to support IHRA racers and looks forward to them utilizing our newest wheels that provide the latest technology and performance edge,” said Norm Young, Weld's president and CEO. “As the official wheel of the sport, Weld looks forward to a great IHRA season ahead and sends best wishes to all competitors.”

    For more information on the IHRA sanctioning body, visit its website.Weld makes forged race wheels for dirt, oval and drag racing, along with wheels for performance street cars and trucks. Each Weld wheel is precision engineered for maximum performance on the street, off road and at the track.
