Rick Beebe Heating & Air Conditioning, Midwest Sheet Metal, Bass Livestock and Five Star Race Car Bodies have also jumped in to support the event.

Numerous local businesses purchased laps at $175 per lap, those partners were outlined in a previous release and are very much appreciated, along with lap 40 by Zac's Sales and Service. It pays $750. Berry Tractor and Metal Magic stepped up to support the USRA B-Mods.
