IMCA track champions in five divisions, All-Stars earn Axle Exchange awards

DES MOINES, Iowa (May 23) – Track champions in five IMCA divisions and twice as many All-Star drivers will be the benefi­ciaries of awards from Axle Exchange in 2011.

Drivers winning local track titles in the IMCA Modified, IMCA Sunoco Stock Car, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock, Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod and Smiley’s Racing Chassis Southern SportMod classes will receive $50 product certifi­cates from the Des Moines, Iowa, manufacturer of the Fast Shafts brand of drive shafts.

Those certificates will be mailed after point standings become official in late October.
Axle Exchange also returns as sponsor of the Fast Shafts All-Star Modified Invitational and will furnish a portion of the purse to be paid to all 20 drivers in the expanded field for the Sept. 9 special during the IMCA Speedway Motors Su­per Nationals fueled by Cenex at Boone Speedway. Each All-Star driver also receives a drive shaft.

In addition to becoming the official drive shaft manufacturer of Super Nationals, Axle Exchange returns to the na­tional decal program for Stock Cars. Two Fast Shafts decals must be displayed on their race cars for All-Star and Stock Car drivers to be eligible for shares of their respective point funds.

The company’s product line now includes a variety of steel, aluminum and chromoly drive shafts, center sections for Ford 9” rear ends, transmission and rear end slip yokes, ring and pinions, bearings, spools, gears and shim kits. Axle Exchange also repairs drive shafts and Bert and Brinn transmissions.

More information about those products and services is available by calling 800 622-6617 and at the www.fastshafts.com website.

"Fast Shafts provides free drive shafts to all drivers elected to the All-Star Invitational and doubling the field doubles that investment as well,” IMCA Marketing Director Kevin Yoder said. “However, they were quick to agree to do it and not only that, but this year drivers will receive drive shafts at the event to take home. Combine that with $15,000 in track champion contingency awards and the Axle Exchange program is very lucrative."
