With Industry-Leading On-Site Hospitality
CYPRESS, CA
– Toyo Tires®, the Official Tire of NASA, returns with
its support of the 25-Hours of
Thunderhill™ December 5-6 at Thunderhill Raceway Park in Northern
California. Celebrating its 13th
year at the Official Tire of NASA, Toyo Tires will once again provide an
industry-leading on-site hospitality program for qualified competitors using Toyo®
Proxes® tires.
The 25-Hours of Thunderhill is held annually
by the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) and is considered the longest
endurance road race in North America. Racers
travel from around the continent to compete in this prestigious event.
This will be
the fourth consecutive year that Toyo Tires will have its VIP rig on-site to
provide free meals at the track on Friday through Sunday. Registered participants will also receive
free mounting and balancing services from Thunderhill AIM Tire on all preorders
and via trackside service at Thunderhill Raceway Park from December 4-6.
"The support Toyo Tires
gives competitors at the NASA 25 hours of Thunderhill presented by Hawk
Performance is unmatched," said Jeremy Croiset, NASA's Director of
Business Development. "The race has quickly grown to become the preeminent
pro-am endurance race in North America.
It is fantastic to have Toyo on board again this year to support
competitors who choose the Toyo Tires brand, as they seem to really appreciate
it."
“We are
proud to offer a VIP support program for competitors using Toyo tires,” said
Marc Sanzenbacher, senior manager, motorsports, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. “We recognize the extraordinary effort that
goes into “Surviving the 25” and Toyo Tires is committed to helping make the 25-Hours of Thunderhill one of the most
memorable and enjoyable road racing events each year.”
