RED LINE OIL ADDS PRO STOCK BIKE TO CONTINGENCY LIST

Red Line Synthetic Oil Company has added the Pro Stock Bike category to its list of racing classes as soon as the upcoming Mac Tools U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.

"We've seen the motorcycles gather increasing interest at the National Event level," said Tim Kerrigan, president of Red Line Synthetic Oil. "It's only natural that we expand our participation from the cars to the bikes. We have an incredible product for these racers, and many of the top teams are already using it, so it only makes sense that we reward them for it."

Red Line Synthetic Oil will pay $250 to win and $100 to runner up. Racers must display a Red Line Oil decal and provide proof of purchase of the product to qualify. [8-15-2003]
