In the world of automotive enthusiasts, Summit Racing Equipment, the World’s Speed Shop, stands tall as a go-to source for quality automotive parts. Since its inception in 1968, Summit Racing has carved a niche for itself as a premier supplier of high-performance parts and accessories, catering to the needs of gearheads, racers and hobbyists alike.
Summit Racing traces its roots back to Ohio, where it was founded by a young engineer with a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette and a passion for drag racing. He made some connections to get performance parts at a discount. It wasn’t long before word got out and his drag-racing buddies wanted the same deal. Business picked up and Summit Racing Equipment was born, first as a part-time parts business in Stow, Ohio, shortly followed by its first “store,” located in the basement of a local donut shop. What started as a modest venture to provide friends with affordable parts soon became a thriving enterprise, fueled by a commitment to providing racers with everything they need to win and a keen understanding of the automotive aftermarket.
Over the years, Summit Racing has expanded its operations, establishing retail stores and distribution centers across the United States and bolstering its online presence to cater to a global audience. It has also provided support to many racers participating in various forms of motorsports and car shows. Despite its growth, Summit Racing has remained true to its founding principles, prioritizing quality, affordability and unparalleled customer service.
