More than $6,000 in American Racer tires will be given out to rookie competitors this coming season.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;
