Speedway, IN (March 21, 2018)

The American Rally Association (ARA) announced today that their 2018 Contingency Program, which supports the ARA 2018 National Rally Championship, has added yet another sponsor to the mix. GrimmSpeed, a Minneapolis, Minnesota based company founded in 2006 which specializes in innovative and highly engineered aftermarket products will be offering nearly $3,000 in Gift Certificates to ARA Regional and National competitors in 2018. Although their original focus was developing performance products for Subaru, they have expanded their offerings over the years to include products for other brands including Mitsubishi, MazdaSpeed, Hyundai, Lexus, Scion and Ford.

“We are a true garage start-up and we’ve been lucky enough to be able to turn it into exactly the business I had dreamed of, probably a lot more actually”, stated GrimmSpeed Founder Justin Grimm. “We have a wide breadth of expertise consisting of intake and exhaust design, intercooler design, gaskets, pulleys, phenolic spacers, boost controllers, and much more. As a company with deep roots in the Subaru brand, GrimmSpeed has always supported the sport of rally stage racing. We love seeing drivers compete against one-another and continually push the limits of what’s possible in motorsport. There’s no better representation of driving talent and the fierce competitive spirit than in the world of rally. We’re excited about joining forces with the American Rally Association this year and are looking forward to showcasing our company and our aftermarket performance products in front of some of the best Rally teams in North America”.

Participation in the 2018 GrimmSpeed Contingency Program is open to all ARA Regional and National Rally teams who register for the program in advance and compete in the seven-event 2018 ARA National Rally Championship. Four (4) GrimmSpeed Bucks Certificates valued at $100.00 each will be available at each of the 2018 ARA National Rally Championship events. Winners will be determined through a random drawing at the conclusion of each rally. GrimmSpeed Bucks Certificates will then be mailed to the winners within one (1) week following each rally.
