Sponsors

BURLINGTON, Wis. – Bassett Race Wheels begins a third decade of IMCA sponsorship by contingency awards for drivers in three divisions. Eighty IMCA Sunoco Stock Car and more than 100 Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod and Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center Southern SportMod track champions all earn $60 product certificates, applicable toward the pur­chase of four wheels from the Burlington, Wis., manufacturer. National champions in each of those divisions also receive sets of four wheels. Bassett also returns to the national decal program for both Northern SportMods and Southern SportMods. Drivers in both divisions are required to display two Bas­sett decals on their race car. “As the number of SportMod and Stock Car track champions continues to climb, so too does the support of Bassett Race Wheels,” observed IMCA Marketing Director Kevin Yoder. “Only seven companies have been a part of IMCA longer than Bassett and that longevity makes us proud to continue our partnership for a 21st season.” Information about Bassett-manufactured wheels is available at the www.bassettwheel.com web­site, by calling 888 888-7199 and on Facebook.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – A company that got its start six years ago renting shocks to race car drivers is a new sponsor for IMCA special events this season. Wahl Traction of Las Vegas, owned by Sonny Wahl, gives gift certificates good toward two shock rebuilds to top five finishers at 30 Modified and 15 SportMod specials. “I’ve been a driver and I’ve been a promoter. I’ve always been a fan of IMCA and one of the reasons why is because their rules are so consistent,” Wahl said. “I have customers who race on asphalt and complain that their rules are always changing, and that costs them a lot of money.” Wahl had worked for a now-defunct NASCAR team before deciding to open his own business, located in the industrial complex near Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “I liked the idea of having my own business and this was a great opportunity for me,” he explained. “It started as a shock rental business and grew from renting out four shocks every weekend to 120.” He built [Read More]
