Swift Springs Added to Partner List for 2026 MARS Late Model & Modified Championship Tour Season
FAIRBURY, IL (February 26, 2026) – As the busy offseason for racing in the Midwest begins to shrink down to less than a month to on-track action, the MARS Late Model Championship Powered by FK Rod Ends and MARS Modified Championship Powered by Summit Racing Equipment is excited to announce Swift Springs as an added partner for the 2026 season and beyond.
Swift Springs was founded in 1997 in Tokyo, Japan as a motorsports division of Tokyo Hatsujo Manufacturing Co, Ltd that has been leading the spring industry since 1924. That foundation of engineering has helped propel Swift as a trusted name in dirt track racing in America, known for producing lightweight, durable, and highly consistent coil springs designed to meet the demands of racers across the country.
Since being involved in motorsports, Swift has been a part of championship teams with the MARS Late Model Championship Powered by FK Rod Ends, World of Outlaws Late Model Series, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Presented by FloRacing, Le Mans 24-hour race, Nurburgring 24-hour race, Super GT, F3, among dozens of other racing organizations.
Swift Springs partnership with the tour will award the 4th-place finisher nightly in both the MARS Late Models and MARS Modifieds with a certificate for (1) free spring. Series champions will each receive a certificate for a set of (4) free springs at seasons-end.
“Adding a national brand that is as accustomed to winning as Swift Springs is huge for our series, but even more so for our competitors” said series director Jonathan Clayton. “Frank Simonetti, Motorsports Director at Swift Springs, is a face that is seen across the country at events, and his customer service is second to none. We look forward to a lasting partnership with one of the leaders in dirt racing manufacturing.”
