Motul Announces It’s Partnering as the Official Motor Oil of WISSOTA Promoters Association, Inc.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (St. Cloud, Minnesota)

Motul lubricants, distributed in the Midwest by Hanco Corporation of Eagan, MN, is excited about becoming the official motor oil for Wissota! Motul offers a variety of great products that dirt racers will love! Engine oils in all viscosities including top of the line full synthetic and semi synthetic engine oils that are higher in zinc than other leading brands. Motul is widely known for its top of the line brake fluids and gear oils. Dirt racers will also appreciate Motul’s helmet cleaner and wash and wax spray to help keep things clean. Another great product is the Shine and Go spray which keeps mud from sticking, makes washing easier and revives dull looking plastic.

Nolan Browning, Motul’s marketing director said “This is a perfect opportunity for Motul to showcase its top line of racing products to local racers.” Rod Lindquist of WISSOTA said “I’ve researched the Motul brand and I’m excited about having a global company on board!” Dennis Larson of Hanco Corporation said “It’s really great to see the direction that Rod is taking WISSOTA! WISSOTA matches our exact distribution area and we couldn’t be more pleased with this new partnership.”

Racers can look forward to seeing cases of motor oil as well as other products handed out at the Wissota 100, Challenge series events and random local events throughout the year. Plans are in place to have Motul tech support and products appearing frequently across the WISSOTA region!

The full line of Motul products can be purchased online at www.Hancousa.com. Wagamon Brothers of Columbia Heights, MN is retailing the Motul line as well. Racers should expect to see the Motul line in other local suppliers soon!
