AFCO sharing wealth of awards with drivers in six IMCA divisions

BOONVILLE, Ind. – An IMCA awards program introduced in 1994 and fine-tuned ever since continues this season courtesy of AFCO. 

The 28-year sponsor renews awards, based on national or regional standings, for IMCA Modified, IMCA Sunoco Late Model, IMCA Sunoco Stock Car, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock, Karl Kustoms Northern SportMod and Smiley’s Racing Products Southern SportMod drivers. 

Top three eligible drivers in each of the five regions for Modifieds receive product certificates val­ued at $250, $150 and $50, respectively, while the top three eligible drivers in the two Stock Car regions get certifi­cates worth $200, $100 and $50. Top three eligible drivers in both Hobby Stock regions and in na­tional standings for the two SportMod divisions will receive $125, $75 and $50 product certifi­cates.

Drivers in all five of those divisions are required to compete with AFCO shocks and springs, display two AFCO decals on their race car and return a completed sign-up form.

Fourth, sixth and 11th place finishers in national Late Model point standings and the rookie of the year all earn $100 product certificates.

The Modified national champion and rookie of the year, and first hard luck driver to get upside down during the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s, re­ceive GM frame replace­ment kits.

The highest finishing eligible drivers in Modified, Stock Car, Hobby Stock and Northern SportMod main events at Super Nationals all receive four shocks; the Hobby Stock champion receives a set of four springs, the Late Model champion a double pass radiator. 

AFCO awards will be presented during the national banquet this fall or mailed beginning the following week from the IMCA home office.
