DMP Awnings, a division of Minnesota-based Dubbin Racing Products, has teamed up with Charles Carpenter Racing in an associate sponsorship role for the 2010 season. Not only will the DMP logo appear on Carpenter’s unmistakable Pro Nitrous ’55 Chevy, but a new DMP Awning will be outfitted to the Carpenter team’s rig.

The partnership was initially brought to life shortly after Carpenter’s devastating crash at the season-opening ADRL Dragpalooza V a year ago. Dubbin was one of the first to pitch in and offer to help Carpenter get back on track anyway he could, despite having never met him.

Now that Carpenter is back and poised to make a run at the ADRL Pro Nitrous championship in 2010, Dubbin has stepped up his support to help him achieve that goal. During their first face-to-face meeting at December’s Performance Racing Industry trade show, the two came to an agreement for DMP to become involved as an associate sponsor.

“We’re thrilled to have formed a relationship with Dean and DMP Awnings,” Carpenter said. “He’s a hard working small business owner much like myself, so we share a lot of common ground in both business and racing. He understands the commitment it takes for the working man to do this, so we hit it off right from the start and I couldn’t ask to be involved with a better individual or company. On top of that, DMP Awnings produces one of the highest quality awning systems available and we can’t wait to get ours installed.”

Dean Dubbin founded DMP Awnings in 1994, and when he’s not out racing his record-setting Top Dragster, he’s at DMP producing one of the strongest, most affordable, and hassle-free awning systems available anywhere.

“We weathered the economic storm in 2009, and in 2010 we’re swinging for the fences to try to make it our best year ever,” said Dubbin. “We’re already off to a great start by entering this partnership with Charles Carpenter Racing and I’m excited about the exposure this will bring to our product. DMP Awnings are perfect for the fast doorslammer racer who wants top quality and a quick, easy setup in a durable awning system custom made for their trailer.”
