Raceline Wheels Supports Many Drivers at Upcoming King of the Hammers
GARDEN GROVE, CA JANUARY 31, 2011: Raceline Wheels was one of the original sponsors of the King of the Hammers in 2008 and continues to be the Official Wheel of the 2011 Griffin King of the Hammers. In this years race 53 of the 148 listed racers are utilizing Raceline Wheels. “Many racers in the Ultra4 class have experienced the Raceline effect: winning races and more importantly finishing races,” said Raceline Offroad Brand Manager Greg Mulkey.
Raceline will be in HammerTown the entire week for any technical questions for rock crawlers, tow rigs, trailers, UTVs and race vehicles. During the vendor show Raceline Wheels will have a booth with deals on wheels in the Main Tent. “We have been involved with King of the Hammers since day one and we are proud to be a part,” said Mulkey. “I always look forward to being a part of this innovative type of racing.” Raceline, in conjunction with Extreme Wheelers 4 Christ in Yucca Valley, will be providing volunteers, racers and crew dinner on Thursday night consisting of over 3000 tacos. Raceline will also host the 2nd annual Raceline Show and Shine on Thursday from 2pm-5pm where racers and spectators can enter their vehicle. Trophies made of forged billet aluminum are built at Raceline for all race winners, show and shine winners, volunteers and others that earn special recognition.
The main stars of the event are the racers and Raceline Wheels is proud to have some of the best racers at the King of the Hammers on their wheels including Ben Napier, Chris Ridgway, Derek West, Doug Bigelow, Eric Anderson, Jesse Haines, JT Taylor, Kevin Sacalas, Kevin Yoder, Lucas Murphy and Rick Mooneyham. All of these drivers profiles can be found on RacelineWheels.com. Many of the racers compete in more than just King of the Hammers including Kevin Yoder who said, “My Raceline wheels performed flawlessly all year. Yoder Racing competed in Rock Crawling, Desert Racing, King of the Hammers, Rock Racing, Lands End hill climb and also did many trail runs all on the same set of Raceline Monster beadlock wheels.” It is the quality of the Raceline Wheels that keeps racers rolling including Jesse Haines who said, “Raceline Wheels have always been so solid for me that it’s a part of the car I never have to worry about. There are tons of things that can take you out of a race, but I’m confident that my Raceline Wheels aren’t one of them.”
The team from Raceline Wheels will be at the 2011 Griffin King of the Hammers to support all the racers and enthusiasts.
