BIRMINGHAM have announced a full team sponsorship deal with locally based programme publishers Curtis Sport.
The company are long-term backers of the Brummies but have stepped up their involvement ahead of the new campaign which sees the club under new ownership.

Curtis Sport MD Stuart Curtis said: “Having been involved with Birmingham Speedway for the past decade, we were really pleased to see the club saved by the new consortium at the back end of last year.
“We offered our usual support to the Brummies during the winter and when we realised the opportunity to become main team sponsors was still there, we were straight on the ‘phone.

“This year will be our tenth season involved working in speedway, and Birmingham were the first club we worked with as a team partner.

“Therefore at Curtis Sport, we feel honoured to be back on board for this exciting new era and we’d like to thank Laurence (Rogers) for building up this partnership, and each of the new consortium members who have all shown a tremendous amount of dedication to keeping this great club on track.”

TESTIMONIAL man Todd Kurtz has revealed how 2020 was due to be his last season in racing.
Kurtz will bring the curtain down on his career at Sheffield next Thursday, March 24, with a star-studded field including former World Champions Chris Holder and Jason Doyle.

Kurtz said: “I was looking forward to the season and making it a good one to go out on. But then Covid came along and ruined it all for us. 

“It was a great team Sheffield put together, which is why I was devastated when the season got cancelled.
“I just feel the time is right to go. I’ve enjoyed my time as a rider, but I need to look more to the future now.
“I really hope to finish with a great night next Thursday. I’m fortunate to have a bunch of mates who are pretty good at riding motorbikes, and they’ve agreed to come along and ride for me.”
