 By Bryan Autullo - F.A.S.T. Public Relations

(Maumee, OH) The Fremont/Attica Sprint Title (F.A.S.T.) is pleased to 
announce that Kistler Racing Products will return as the series title 
sponsor for the 2010 racing season. After a successful inaugural season, the 
F.A.S.T. series is excited about continuing its relationship with the 
Kistler brand. Kistler Racing Products and Kistler Engines are very well 
known in 410 sprint car racing and to have them associated once again with 
the Fremont/Attica Sprint Title is a shot in the arm for the series. Kistler 
Racing Products, a division of Kistler Engines, is well into their 2nd year 
of operation and will once again bring their expertise to the racers at 
Fremont Speedway and Attica Raceway Park where the chase for the 2010 
Kistler Cup will begin once again in April. “Kistler Engines continues to be 
an icon in 410 sprint car racing and has powered sprint cars to victory at 
every level of this sport since 1993," said F.A.S.T. co-founder Bryan 
Autullo. "Paul Kistler knows the sprint car business and when it comes to 
making horsepower he gets the job done. I want to thank Paul, Dave, and 
Brian for their continued support of our vision for this area."

The F.A.S.T. Championship Series paid out nearly $30,000 in cash and another 
$30,000 in contingency prizes and awards in 2009. Craig Mintz was crowned 
Champion at the October awards banquet and took home the Kistler Cup trophy. 
"We couldn't have done it without the support of Kistler Racing Products and 
the rest of the great businesses who contributed to this point fund," said 
Autullo. "All of the sponsors and advertisers who stepped up and made this 
concept a reality should be commended. We are comitted to making things 
bigger and better for the upcoming season and we'll have more big 
announcements soon." The F.A.S.T. point fund is paid in addition to the two 
individual track point funds. The competitive hot bed of 410 sprint car 
racing in Northern Ohio produced 3 different Champions with Mintz hauling 
home the F.A.S.T. series hardware as Chris Andrews took the Attica Raceway 
Park track championship and Brock Mayes wore the crown at Fremont Speedway. 
This was the first time any of the three had won a championship title The 
F.A.S.T. series is working on the 2010 schedule in conjunction with the two 
tracks and planning several off-season events. FASTfest II, The 2nd Annual 
Racer's Chili Challenge, and a few other events are in the works for the 
winter months to keep the fans involved all year long. Look for the F.A.S.T. 
display at upcoming area mall shows, trade shows, swap meets, and the 
Kistler Engines/Kistler Racing Products 2nd Annual Open House on January 
9th. "We are committed to keeping the fans involved throughout the winter 
months," said series co-founder Scott Porter.  "Race fans are a very 
tight-knit community and there aren't many things to do when its cold 
outside and the snow is falling.  We try to give everyone something to look 
forward to during the winter months." The F.A.S.T. group is also working 
with Kistler Racing Products to produce some new merchandise that will be 
revealed soon to the racing community.  "We don't slow down when the racing 
stops," added Porter.
