Performance Engineering and Manufacturing, LLC (PEM) has signed on as the Official Quick Change of the USMTS for the 2019 racing season.

In addition to padding the points funds for USMTS racers, PEM will provide product certificates for drivers at every event on the 2019 calendar, as well as the top three finishers in the Casey’s USMTS National Championship points.

“PEM is thrilled to partner with USMTS for the upcoming 2019 season,” said the company’s Sales Manager, Randy Harrison. “In the last ten years our premium lightweight quick change gear sets have become very popular with racers in Modifieds, Late Models and Sprint Cars. These gears run cooler with less friction due to their weight savings and REM ISF micropolishing processed in house.”

Based in the center of the country in St. Clair, Missouri, PEM is focusing on reaching out to other regions of the United States.

“Shipping has traditionally been a large expense from the east coast for quick change rear ends and components. Our central location in Missouri will help racers, chassis builders and parts retailers with shipping time and costs,” Harrison added.

Embarking on their fifth year of manufacturing and building complete quick change rear ends for the oval track racing market, PEM builds their quick change rear-ends with standard features that are options on some of the other companies.

The USMTS will host its annual awards banquet on Friday, February 22, at the Ameristar Casino Hotel in Kansas City. This year’s party will once again be a joint effort for both the USMTS and United States Racing Association (USRA).
