In their most emphatic performance yet, Mintex, the world’s biggest brake specialists, took the top three slots and five of the top seven positions, in the latest round of NASCAR’s Winston Cup, on route to their seventh win in the USA this season.

On the back of the recent 1-2 CART success in Denver, the sixth Winston Cup victory of the season at the Monte Carlo 400 at Richmond International Raceway, confirms Mintex elevation to top stateside stoppers.

The impressive display at Richmond is also the second time this season that Mintex has fitted five of the top ten finishers, after some raucous racing at the brake-sapping Watkins Glen road course for the 2002 Sirius Satellite Radio, saw them do likewise.

Richmond International Raceway is a 0.75 mile, 14 degree, banked oval that demands a tough performance from start to finish, and with 400 punishing laps to complete, Mintex put in a show-stopping performance for NASCAR win number six.

Commenting on the result, US Motorsport Manager Tim Clark said; “Mintex is pleased to have won on what is considered to be the most taxing track on brakes in NASCAR. In addition to having superior friction levels Mintex provides materials that give a level of control and release, unequalled amongst its competitors.
