Continental will be the featured tire
on a collection of eye-catching custom
cars throughout this year's Petty's
Garage Performance Tour.
“Both Petty’s Garage and Continental
Tire are in a growth mode within the
performance tuning market, which makes
this partnership a great fit,” reports
Richard Petty.
“Petty’s Garage was researching and
looking for a tire that fits our
performance builds, and Continental
provides a great performance line of
dry/wet/all-season tires with sizes
that fit our builds,” he adds.
The enterprise was established in 2008
in Level Cross, N.C. to begin
restorations on race car chassis from
Petty’s private collection. It is
currently constructing a wide variety
of custom vehicles.
The partnership with Continental kicked
off during the 50th running of the 24
At Daytona, and the tour and will stop
at various Grand-Am races, Goodguys
events, Fun Ford Weekends and other
major car shows throughout the year.
“The name Petty signifies a winning
tradition and performance excellence,”
says account manager Tony
Talbert.
He says the company “is excited to
partner with Richard Petty and Petty’s
Garage. We believe that our 140-year
history of building technology-leading
high performance tires is a great match
with such a legend in the world of auto
racing and performance cars.”
