VINTON, Iowa (Jan. 22, 2026) — IMCA is proud to announce Karl Kustoms as the new national title sponsor of IMCA Modifieds and IMCA Northern SportMods, strengthening a long-standing relationship between the company and IMCA racing.

Since their introduction in 1979, IMCA Modifieds have grown into the largest division of race cars in the United States. Known for fierce competition and unmistakable open-wheel design, the class continues to showcase many of the nation’s top racers at dirt tracks before standing-room-only crowds from coast to coast and border to border.

Originating in 2005, the IMCA Northern SportMods have seen steady growth as tracks across the country look for a class that allows budget-minded drivers to get on, and stay on, the racetrack. The division has become a staple at a growing number of weekly racing facilities, valued for its affordability and competitive racing.

A longtime supporter of IMCA racing, Karl Kustoms has been actively involved in the sport through sponsorship of tracks, events, and racing programs across the Midwest and beyond. That continued commitment now expands to the national level with its title sponsorship of the IMCA Modified division.

Karl Kustoms is a performance and custom shop founded by Carl Moyer following years of involvement in racing and the automotive industry. The company specializes in hot rods, race parts, performance accessories, and custom vehicle builds, with experienced machinists and technicians handling restoration, fabrication, upholstery, paint, bodywork, and aftermarket installations. The operation also features an in-house machine shop with machinists who have worked with IMCA competitors across the country for decades.

Karl Kustoms offers a wide selection of performance and racing products for multiple makes and models, serving racers, high-performance enthusiasts, and classic car collectors alike. The company focuses on parts and components they actively use and support in their own shops, with offerings ranging from racing fuel to crate engines, a Karl Kustoms specialty.
