Summit Racing Equipment is one of the world's largest mail-order and online retailers of automotive performance parts and accessories. Founded in 1968 in Akron, Ohio, the company is privately held and operates out of large distribution centers in Ohio, Texas, and Nevada.

The retailer offers a massive catalog of over 1,500 brands covering engine components, exhaust systems, suspension, wheels, tires, tools, and racing safety equipment.
