The Dunlop "Accelerate Your Soul Award" Presented by Mr. Sign to be Awarded to Select AMA Pro Flat Track Riders Throughout 2014 Season

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May 23, 2014) - AMA Pro Racing is proud to announce its agreement to partner with Dunlop and Mr. Sign as the co-sponsors of AMA Pro Flat Track's "Accelerate Your Soul Award" for the 2014 season. The award, a free set of Dunlop tires, will go to the Expert or Pro rider with the fastest lap of the day at each AMA Pro Flat Track mile race.

"We're very grateful that Dunlop and Mr. Sign teamed up to develop this award for our AMA Pro Flat Track riders," said Michael Gentry, Chief Operating Officer of AMA Pro Racing. "Dunlop is a well-known brand that makes an exceptional tire and I'm sure our winning riders will be very thankful for their generosity."

"Accelerate your soul" has been Dunlop's tagline for a few years now because it really captures so well why we ride," said Les Washbon, Motorsports Technician of Dunlop Tires. "Dunlop is glad to extend our involvement with AMA Pro Flat Track with this extra award at the miles to recognize a rider who has worked hard enough to have the fastest lap that day."

There are six scheduled mile-long races on the 2014 calendar. A list that includes the upcoming legendary Springfield Mile on May 25, the newly reinstated Sacramento Mile scheduled to be held on July 26, the Indy Mile on August 8, the Virginia Mega Mile on Aug. 23, the second running of the Springfield Mile on Aug. 31, and the Santa Rosa Mile on Sept. 28.

As part of the agreement, Mr. Sign produced and donated air fence signage for display on track at AMA Pro Flat Track events. A lifetime AMA member, David Lenkowsky, Owner of Mr. Sign, is a long-time supporter of the sport of motorcycle racing and is happy to have this opportunity to once again give back to the Flat Track community. Through the years, Mr. Sign has helped many Flat Track riders both financially and with product support.
