Continental Tire the Americas LLC announced that Continental Tire will become the presenting partner and official tire of the USF Pro Championships and its three-ladder series – USF Pro 2000; USF2000; and USF Juniors – with a five-year agreement beginning in 2024.
The tires will be manufactured at the Hoosier Racing Tire in Plymouth, Ind., and will be supplied to competitors beginning in November for off-season testing. Andersen Promotions announced the partnership.
“We are excited to partner with the USF Pro Championships,” says Travis Roffler, director of marketing, at Continental Tire.
“We have a long and diverse history of competing in different avenues of motorsport – from sports cars to Stadium Super trucks – and now in the open wheel racing ranks. The Continental brand focuses on delivering products for premium performance and we’re thrilled to provide that to the USF Pro 2000, USF2000 and the USF Juniors championship.”
“When the need arose for a change this year, Continental was the first company I reached out to,” says Dan Andersen, owner and CEO of Andersen Promotions.
“My earliest tire provider in racing back in 1992 was Hoosier Racing Tires and they were a terrific partner for all those early years. They have always built high-quality products, made here in the U.S., and with great trackside service so it was natural for me to reach out to their parent company, Continental Tire.”
“Our experience in high-performance racing aligns well with the USF series' driver development program,” says Joerg Burfien, president and CEO of Hoosier Racing Tire.
“We look forward to progressing the career of racers around the world and elevating this series to new heights while creating an exciting experience for all.”
