SOUTHINGTON, Conn. – Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series competitors will be recognized as the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger, for the highest-finishing driver that most improves his or her starting spot to finishing position, in select feature races this year.

A premier manufacturer of precision rod ends and spherical bearings, FK Rod Ends is returning as the Official Rod End of the USRA and will present the FK Hard Charger Award at 20 select events in 2020.

The FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award recipient will collect a $100 cash award in those selected events and select divisions.

FK Rod Ends came onto the scene more than 35 years ago and quickly won over their customers with fair pricing and plenty of inventory. While the industrial market struggled to get product from the old standbys, the racing market embraced a supplier that would maintain inventory through a limited season.

Over the years, the FK Rod Ends product line has grown to encompass many different industries, including the wilds of Baja Mexico and the touring modifieds of the USMTS.
