Mitchell Machine is new sponsor for IMCA Stock Cars
WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (March 10) – Contingency awards from Mitchell Machine are new
this season for drivers in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car division.
Champions of both the Jet Racing Northern Region and the Destroyer Chassis
Southern Region receive manual stick transmissions from the Webster City
manufacturer.
Runners-up and third place finishers in the two regions all get $100 product
certificates.
Drivers must compete with a Mitchell made transmission and return a sign-up form
to the IMCA home office by Aug. 1 to be eligible.
“I want to give a good, reliable product to the people who bought my
transmissions,” said owner Ted Mitchell, touting the advantages of aluminum over
cast iron. “I want to be known as a manufacturer who is there for the racer and
a guy who stands behind his product.”
A tool and die maker for more than 20 years, Mitchell opened the machine shop in
1990 and built his first transmission, for his brother, in 1996. Other drivers
who saw that transmission wanted one of their own, prompting Mitchell to add yet
another line of service to his business.
In addition to tool and die work, CNC machining and aluminum and magnesium
welding, Mitchell does custom rebuilding work, assembles rear end gears and is
also an ACE Manufacturing distributor.
“I hope to make a product that can evolve as a driver moves from Hobby Stocks to
Stock Cars and then to the Modified division,” Mitchell said.
More information is available by calling 515 297-3333 or at the
www.bullettranny.com website.
“IMCA Sunoco Stock Car drivers will have another option on the contingency
sign-up form this season, which enables us to award more drivers in both regions
at season’s end,” said Kevin Yoder, director of marketing for IMCA. “We are glad
to partner with Mitchell Machine in making these prizes available and look
forward to a great season.”
