Finlay Motorsports and Savage Designs add names to Red Line Oil Karting Championship sponsor list.

Finlay Motorsports will be presenting a "rising star" award that will offer driver management services for the 2011 race season.

Finlay Motorsports has developed a comprehensive driver management and development program that covers a broad spectrum of drivers; from beginners to recreational and professional drivers. Finlay Management has had the opportunity to work with many talented and professional drivers over the years, including karting notables such as Memo Gidley, Dane Cameron and Michael McDowell. From this experience and these relationships, Finlay has extensive knowledge of what it takes to succeed as a competitive and professional driver.

Savage Designs will be offering the Junior Rotax Champion a helmet custom design and paint job.

Savage Designs creates the world's most innovative and highly detailed helmet designs for professional racers and weekend warriors alike. Be it on dirt, street or super speedways, their designs are affordable and long-lasting, giving racers a high class presence anywhere they run.

"I personally design and paint each and every helmet that comes through our doors" Michael Savage said. "Being able to offer a young kart racer a design that he can carry throughout his racing career is a great opportunity for me to create a design that will reflect the personality and dedication it takes to make it in racing".

For series promoter Steve Cameron, adding Finlay Motorsports and Savage Designs to the growing list of sponsors is another step towards making this championship a true driver development series.

"One of our goals with the Red Line Oil Karting Championship is to give young racers the opportunity to develop their careers and move up the motorsports ladder", Cameron said. "This can be a daunting task and without guidance, it's difficult to make the right choices. Finlay Motorsports provides the expertise to help drivers maximize their opportunities, and with a Savage Designs helmet these drivers will surely be noticed".
