Accuride Announces Sponsorship Of Kruckeberg Motorsports In Bandit Series

“Bandit events feature intense action, so this gives us a way to test our wheels’ durability in the most extreme environment,” said Accuride President and CEO Rick Dauch.

Accuride Corp. is throwing its hat into the Minimizer Bandit Big Rig Series through its product sponsorship of Kruckeberg Motorsports (KMS).

The Indiana-based manufacturer of commercial vehicle wheels and wheel end components is sponsoring the KMS team, which will roll on Accuride wheels the remainder of the 2018 Bandit season.

“We’re really excited about this opportunity at KMS,” team owner and Bandit Craig Kruckeberg said. “Accuride’s wheels are the standard for performance by which others are judged, so having them on our KMS trucks gives us a huge advantage.”

“We’re pleased with this agreement with Kruckeberg Motorsports,” said Accuride President and CEO Rick Dauch. “Bandit events feature intense action, so this gives us a way to test our wheels’ durability in the most extreme environment.”

The first race featuring Accuride wheels on KMS trucks took place on June 9 at Hawkeye Downs Speedway in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The next Bandit Big Rig Series event is Saturday, July 7, at Lake Erie Speedway in North East, Pennsylvania.
