Racing would be non-existent if it weren't for sponsorships. From the entry-level racer to a large racing sanctioning body, none of it would be possible without sponsors. Thankfully, with this announcement we will have another great year to follow the NMRA. Check out the details after the jump...

The NMRA and NMCA series are pleased to announce that Keystone Automotive Operations, the largest performance parts wholesaler in the U.S., will continue as the series sponsor of the NMRA Ford Nationals and the official performance parts supplier of the NMCA Edelbrock Muscle Car Nationals in 2010.  The NMRA Keystone Automotive Ford Nationals is the #1 all-Ford motorsport show in the U.S. with eight national events in top markets.  Furthermore, 1-800-AUTOPARTS, Keystone Automotive's cutting-edge dealer locator, will be the official performance parts supplier for both NMRA and the NMCA next season. 

"Keystone Automotive has truly activated its sponsorships with the NMRA and NMCA by working with their dealers in each event region," said Charlie Harmon, president of the NMRA and NMCA.  "Keystone dealers are invited to display and sell product at each event where they can get belly-to-belly with their customers who are passionate about muscle car drag racing and performance.  Through its sponsorship with NMRA and NMCA, Keystone has taken the next step with its dealers by helping them sell their products to a captive performance audience.  Keystone preaches what it practices - 'support your local speed shop'."
