By Kari Shear-Carlson, ASA Midwest Tour PR
The American Speed Association® Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment and Grandstay® Residential Suites Hotels is happy to announce that ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment is once again teaming up with the ASAMT as a co-presenting sponsor for the 2010 season.

ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment first partnered with the ASAMT in its inaugural season in 2007 as a series presenting and pole award sponsor, presenting a piece of ECHO Power equipment to the pole award winner at each race. This relationship continues into the 2010 season. "ECHO has been with us since day one and we couldn't be more proud of how we have grown together and continue to find new and innovative ways to market their products and our racing series together. They go above and beyond, finding ways to make this partnership effective and we are honored to have them back as the series presenting sponsor," stated Steve Einhaus, ASAMT Vice President.

Marketing manager, Jerry Kobza is looking forward to another season with the ASAMT. "ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment is proud to be a part of the ASA Midwest Tour, and we are excited about the many new additions that the series has added for 2010, including the ASA Midwest Sportsman Tour, ASA Midwest Truck Tour and the FOX Television partnership.  The quality and professionalism of the ASA Midwest Tour is a perfect complement to the ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment brand of professional-grade chain saws and outdoor power equipment."

Founded in 1972, ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment has been an innovator in the outdoor power equipment industry. They are so committed to their quality that ECHO has introduced a 2 year commercial warranty. The change is based on the success of the 5-year consumer warranty and the long running 2-year commercial warranty already offered on backpack blowers as well as the lifetime warranty on ignition modules and flex cable drives. This upgrade includes all engine-driven product categories excluding chain saws, cut-off saws and QuikVent saws. These will continue to carry the 1-year commercial warranty.

Amongst the numerous features that set ECHO apart from the competition, ECHO manufactures commercial-grade equipment...exclusively, and now is putting the money where the manufacturing is by offering a 5-YEAR CONSUMER WARRANTY on all engine-driven products. The best in the industry! ECHO has released an all new website with information on all of the new ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment, as well as information on the ECHO Carving Series, ECHO's Pro Environment campaign, and many videos that cover topics from how to load a trimmer head, sharpen a chain saw chain, and the new BRD-280 Bed Redefiner which makes quick work out of maintaining planter beds.
