HOOSIER RACING TIRE
- Official Tire of the Rolling Thunder Modifieds
YEARS WITH THE TOUR: 3+
PROFILE: Hoosier is the largest race tire manufacturer in the world, and all Hoosier race tires are still proudly "Made in the USA." The company continues to be privately owned and operated by the Newton family, and founders Bob and Joyce remain actively involved in the day-to-day operations of Hoosier (as do many Newton family members). Hoosier has grown to be one of the largest employers in Plymouth, Indiana, and produces over 1000 different types of race tires. The company has its own 300-mph test wheel; a technology center; state-of-the-art, fully-integrated production facilities; and a model sales and distribution network in Lakeville, Indiana, which others seek to emulate.
The pride that exists among those associated with Hoosier "family" continues to be the focal point of the success the company has enjoyed over the years. Bob and Joyce, as well as others involved in the racing industry, marvel at the success and growth of the original business they started over 50 years ago. At Hoosier, we know that if you build a company with talented, hardworking people who care, and produce a product that performs at an affordable price, you will satisfy the needs of your customers and both you and they will be winners. This philosophy has been, and will continue to be, the secret behind Hoosier's success in building "Tires Designed for Champions."
