Trophylite names the sponsor line up for 2010. Returning as title sponsor for the series is General Tire making the name of the series the "General Tire Trophylite Race Series". For 2010 General Tire will continue to use the Trophylite series for their marketing efforts and tire testing and development. The Trophylite team has been busy with sponsor development and has managed to bring back several of the key sponsors from last year.
KC HiLITES will continue to help Trophylite shine bright for the new year and you can look for the trucks to return to the KC HiLITES midnight special this year. Currie Enterprises will remain the spec supplier for the rear ends and parts for the Trophylite trucks.
MasterCraft safety will also remain on board and be the spec supplier for the saftey equipment for the trucks. In addition MasterCraft will also be the official driving suit supplier to the teams with special programs for Trophylite owners and teams. Fox Shox has also renewed as the spec shock supplier to the Trophylite series.
New to the Trophylite family for 2010 you will find some big names. Joining for this year is Lincoln Welders as the official welding equipment of Trophylite. Azunia Tequila has come on to be the official tequila of the Trophylite series. Method Race Wheels joins the team as the spec wheel supplier for the series, and will be developing a new wheel for the Trophylite trucks to battle with.
Also on board for this year is another well known company Fabtech. Fabtech is a leader in the aftermarket suspension industry.
Sopwith Motorsports has been providing the television programming for the Best in the Desert races for the last several years. The Trophylite teams will now be featured in each of the Sopwith Motorsports productions.
Additionally Trophylite has formed an alliance with 2XL games to become a series sponsor and for the creation of a Trophylite game to be released in late February featuring the Trophylite races, teams, and trucks. 2XL games and BLACKbox Interactive will help to deliver 1:1 connections to the game players and sponsors of the series.
Best of all the Trophylite teams will find $70,000 in purse money to be paid out in winnings.
