Mike and Jason are both capable of winning any race they are in. Our goal is to see our customers winning championships.“We’re excited in the direction we’re headed this year.”AMRC has specialized in its Duster body style and is also developing a Chevelle body it hopes to debut in the coming months.“We want to bring some excitement to the ADRL with these bodies,” McCoy said.The ADRL is also pleased to have another impressive chassis manufacturer as a partner.“Andy McCoy and AMRC is a very talented chassis shop and we are excited to have them as a sponsor for the 2011 ADRL season,” ADRL Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brian Evans said.“By partnering with the ADRL, it opens up an entirely new window for them to be in contact and help even more racers with their great products.”
