“TMG is committed to supporting many aspects of off-road racing and our engagements in the sport are a reinforcement of our dedication to the drivers and racers who confirm our products’ reputation for excellence in a competitive environment,” says Chloe Eady, TMG Brands Marketing Manager. “From King of the Hammers, to Easter Jeep Safari, to Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series events, we’re passionate about the industry and here to support members of the off-road community.”

Pro Comp’s Kevin Adler is heading up the new Tire Racing Program offering racers in assorted classes special pricing on select Xtreme MT2 tires. “The Tire Racing Program is gaining traction and as of now we have 15 teams signed up to take advantage of it for King of the Hammers,” says Adler. “Recently our contingency funds have not only increased in dollar amount, but teams racing on Pro Comp tires will receive an extra $500 if they reach the podium. Make sure you are registered with Pro Comp to be eligible.”

Along with their support on our competition rig, I’m proud to say that I run Rubicon Express on my daily driver as well.”
