  American Racing Equipment returns as sponsor of Dead-on Club - The American Racing Dead-on Club returns in 2008 at all Drag News All-Star Tour events. At each of the 18 events this summer, the first racer to achieve either a perfect reaction time or run dead-on with a zero during eliminations will receive a Qualifiers jacket along with an all-important American Racing Equipment Dead-on Club decal. Following that achievement, all additional racers who get perfect lights or run dead-on with a zero on a winning pass will also receive a decal.
All of the decal earners throughout the season will be eligible to compete in a special shoot-out during the Super Bowl of Bracket Racing on September 20 and 21 at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis. The qualifier who goes the furthest in eliminations on Sunday, September 21 will receive a complete set of wheels compliments of American Racing Equipment.
