O'FALLON, Mo. -- Billet Specialties of La Grange, Illinois, has been named the official wheel of the National Guard American Drag Racing League (ADRL) and will offer a contingency sponsorship program for all four car classes in the 2010 National Guard ADRL Tour.

"What we really like about the ADRL is its aggressiveness," Billet Specialties Director of Sales and Marketing Keith Kern says. "Just in the few years the ADRL has been around it's already become very obvious that it takes high performance and racing very seriously and that's an attitude we share at Billet Specialties."

In addition to literally hundreds of engine accessories, dress-up items and wheels for custom street applications, Billet Specialties also offers a complete line of high-performance racing wheels in its Comp 5 series. Beginning next season it will be paying contingencies of $300 to the winner and $200 to the runner-up in Pro Extreme, Pro Nitrous, Flowmaster Extreme 10.5 and Extreme Pro Stock at each National Guard ADRL event if those cars have Billet Specialties Comp 5 wheels mounted on all four corners.

"We're looking forward to giving a little extra to those racers who support Billet Specialties with their wheel choice," Kern says. "And not being affiliated with any tire companies, the contingency is in place regardless of the tire brand."

The Billet Specialties partnership with the National Guard ADRL officially begins Mar. 12-13, 2010, at the Safety-Kleen Dragpalooza VI at Houston Raceway Park.
