Formerly called the High Octane 200, the event will now be known as the Vortex Brake Pads 200.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c We had a great experience sponsoring the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series race last year at the Mosport Speedway oval and for the next two seasons are looking forward to having our name associated with the historic Mosport International Raceway circuit and their NASCAR Series race,\u201d said Bryan Watts, vice-president of Vortex Brake Pads. \u201cThrough our sponsorship of Ed Hakonson Racing (EHR) and driver Jason Hathaway, we\u2019ve made inroads into this and other stock car racing championships. We believe our association with Mosport will open-up opportunities for us in the road racing community as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vortex Brake Pads are made by OE Quality Friction Inc. (OEQF). Founded in 1997, OEQF is a leading aftermarket manufacturer that specializes in hydraulic and air disc pads and have over 1,400 brake pad applications.
