Longacre Racing Products, of Monroe,
Washington, has been named the official sponsor of the SPEEDY
Awards presented each year at SpeedwayEXPO. Each Award winner
receives a special race-car steering wheel from Longacre as a
trophy.
"With the winner's name and details inscribed on a brass plate
set into the hub, these racing wheels look great and are really
appropriate," said Karl Fredrickson, Editor of Speedway
Illustrated Magazine, which produces EXPO and the SPEEDY
Awards.
Tom Glithero, Longacre Racing Products Vice-President, said, "We
are proud to sponsor the SPEEDY Awards. To recognize some of the
excellent people in our sport, from Breakout Racer of the year
to Best Individual Promotion, is outstanding!"
Longacre has been a prime supplier to the motorsports community
for more than 40 years. The company has an enviable reputation
for customer service and for supplying durable, high-quality
racing equipment and tools at reasonable prices. "Our goal is to
use our experience to produce better, more reliable parts and
pieces for teams who take their racing as seriously as we do,"
Glithero said.
SpeedwayEXPO annually honors 11 deserving members of the racing
community with SPEEDY Awards. The winners are nominated by
fellow racers and fans and the winners are then selected by the
editors of Speedway Illustrated Magazine. To see the
