Hawaiian Island Shine has new awards for Deery Series, Arnold’s Dirt Knights drivers

AIEA, Hawaii – Drivers in two top-of-the-line IMCA series earn top-of-the-line product awards this season from new sponsor Hawaiian Island Shine. IMCA’s first-ever sponsor from the 50th state gives two quarts of Mud-B-Gone to a designated place finisher at each event in the Deery Brothers Summer Series for Late Models and the Arnold Mo­tor Supply Dirt Knights Tour for Modifieds. “I like the enthusiasm for dirt track racing and the fact that it is family oriented,” said company owner and president Doug Smith, who expanded his research of sanctioning bodies and individ­ual drivers via social media before contacting IMCA Marketing Director Kevin Yoder. “These two series are a perfect fit for us.” A South Carolina native and already familiar with drag racing, Smith retired after serving in the Navy. He’s been the sole owner of Hawaiian Island Shine – military friends came up with the com­pany acronym (HIS), then the name at a barbeque – since 1994.  Mud-B-Gone is a water-based pre-race spray developed for the dirt track market and tested exten­sively on mainland ovals.  A [Read More]
