BURLINGTON, VT — Stock car racing news website Vermont Motorsports Magazine — online at www.vtmotormag.com — and Thermal Control Products have announced a new award for short track drivers competing in and around Vermont: The Thermal Control Products “Turn Up The Heat” Award.

Thermal Control Products specializes in the custom manufacturing of thermal and protective components, producing products for the professional motorsports industry, commercial transportation, industrial, and military markets.

Featured weekly at www.vtmotormag.com, the Thermal Control Products “Turn Up The Heat” Award will recognize drivers who have stood out at area short tracks with a big victory or a breakthrough performance. Six drivers will be featured each week, with two finalists entered into a monthly drawing for the grand prize from Thermal Control Products. Each of the two weekly finalists will receive a prize package from Thermal Control Products.

“I’ve known about Thermal Control Products for a couple of years, and I’ve always admired their craftsmanship and attention to detail,” said VMM Editor Justin St. Louis. “Safety is the number-one priority in auto racing, and the fact that many teams competing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series put their trust in Thermal Control speaks volumes for their quality of work. VMM is excited to spread the word to short track racers here at home, and we’re thrilled to work Thermal Control Products.”

Based in Concord, NC, Thermal Control Products is an innovative manufacturer that is constantly creating and reinventing not only the products themselves, but also the method by which they are manufactured.
