BENICIA, Calif., Sept. 22, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With a 30-year history of creating high-quality oils for street and racing use, Red Line Oil is no stranger to the champion's podium. The company is eagerly awaiting the results of this week's 48th Annual SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Road America, an event which Red Line has been participating in since the company was founded in 1979.
The Runoffs bring together winning drivers from 70 events and 28 categories across the country to qualify for one last, winner-take-all event, and Red Line drivers have consistently finished on the podium in almost every class. 2010, SCCA saw a record 22 champions and 48 podium finishes from Red Line racers.
Red Line Synthetic Oil will award eligible 1st place finishers with a $1500 custom Red Line Oil Sabelt driver's suit. 2nd place finishers will receive $400 product certificates and 3rd place finishers will receive $250 product certificates.
Red Line's product line of motor oils, gear oils, additives, and greases offers the diverse classes of SCCA racers a wide variety of fluids specifically designed for their cars, and as a result, the company is well represented on the track.
"The SCCA Runoffs is a place for the amateur race crowd to shine, but most of the teams are working on a professional level of preparation," said Cameron Evans, Red Line Director of Sales and Marketing. "We are able to help with everything from open-wheel Formula Vee cars to the Corvettes, Mustangs, and Ferraris in the Touring and GT classes. Lubrication is especially critical at Elkhart Lake's Road America as the teams are looking for the low friction and less drag the our fluids provide."
Results can be seen throughout the week on the SCCA and Red Line Oil social media channels and each day of qualifying will have a daily recap available through the all-new SCCA.com. All 24 races can be seen live at www.speedcasttv.com/scca. For more information about the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, please visit www.scca.com/runoffs.
