CONCORD, N.C. (December 4, 2009) — The USARacing Pro Cup Series champion will win more than bragging rights in 2010 thanks to Crane Cams and S&S Cycle, which have joined forces to create a custom motorcycle for next year’s title holder.

The 2010 USARacing Pro Cup champion custom motorcycle will be unveiled at the Performance Racing Industry Show in Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 10 at 10:30 a.m. in the USARacing Pro Cup Series booth #4559.

However, before the USAR Pro Cup champion can walk away with the custom bike, the competitor must make it through 16 of the toughest short tracks in the Southeast and Midwest. In the 2010 season, the series will travel to historic tracks such as North Wilkesboro Speedway, Rockingham Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway and South Boston Speedway.

The 2010 USAR Pro Cup champion is not the only one who will have a chance to walk away with a custom bike. Viola, Wis.-based S&S Cycle, the world’s leading independent manufacturer of V-twin powerplants, is giving one lucky fan the new “X-Wedge” engine. The engine, worth more than $10,000, is identical to the one used in the champion’s bike.

Crane Cams has been a participant in the USAR Pro Cup Series for years. Pro Cup competitors exclusively use its HI-6 ignition systems. Many USAR teams also use the Crane Cams Oval Track Pro Race distributors, as well as Crane camshafts and valve train components.

The USARacing Pro Cup Series, formerly Hooters Pro Cup, is owned by Interstate Investment Group (IIG) and is based in Concord, N.C. IIG is comprised of Jack McNelly, Gary Kale, Carl Hubbard, Chip Lofton and Larry Camp, who serves as the managing partner.
