SCHULTZ JOINS CAROLINA CRATE SERIES CONTINGENCY PROGRAMS
Neptune, NJ (August 13, 2024): Schultz Engineered Products is excited to announce a new partnership with the Carolina Pro Late Model Series and the Carolina Crate Modified Series. This sponsorship highlights Schultz's commitment to grassroots racing while recognizing the top performances of emerging talent.
“Our goal is not only to provide competitors across racing disciplines with the safest and most advanced fueling technology products but also to support their racing efforts,” said Rob Schultz, founder of Schultz Engineered Products. “Many of the Schultz team members are racers too, so we understand what it takes to get to the track every week.”
Max Reaves of Mooresville, NC, and Dale Ogburn of Troutman, NC, will each receive $100, compliments of Schultz. These awards are the first in a new month-long contingency program between the Carolina Pro Late Model (CPLMS) and Carolina Crate Modified (CCMS) Series and the fueling technologies manufacturer.
During the month of August, Schultz Engineered Products will present the CPLMS and CCMS competitors who turn the fastest lap in the Series features with a $100 bonus.
“We are happy to lock this deal down. We know that Schultz Engineered Products has trusted products, and we are thrilled to share them with our drivers and teams,” said Wendi Graham, co-owner of the CPLMS and CCMS.
Founded in 1995, Schultz Engineered Products leads the way in the design, fabrication, and manufacturing of a comprehensive line of products for the aviation refueling and high-performance motorsports industries. They enjoy exclusive relationships at the top tiers of stock car racing, including supplying fueling products to the top three series.
Started by Keith & Wendi Graham in 2020 and 2021, respectively, the CPLMS and CCMS feature Pro Late Model stocks powered by 602/604 crate engines and open-wheel asphalt Modifieds with GM 602 crate engines. The full series schedules include races throughout North and South Carolina from March to November. The series have proven to be solid proving grounds for emerging talents like Max Reaves and Evan McKnight in the Pro Late Models and third-generation Modified drivers Jack Baldwin and Slate Myers.
Past champions of the CPLMS include George Phillips, Josh Lowder, Nick Loden, and Carson Kvapil. The rosters of ARCA, Xfinity, and Craftsman Trucks are dotted with graduates from the series.
During the feature event for the CPLMS, race winner Reaves posted a lap at 15.255 seconds to record the fastest lap during the feature at Hickory Motor Speedway on August 3. Ogburn recorded the fastest lap in the CCMS feature event (15.581 ET), also at Hickory, before finishing second.
“Our hope is to build relationships that will have racers counting on us for their safety and performance for years to come,” added Schultz.
Schultz “Fueling Fast” $100 bonuses will be awarded to the teams that post the fastest lap during the upcoming feature event at New River All-American Speedway in Jacksonville, NC, for the Carolina Crate Modifieds on August 30 and for the Carolina Pro Late Models' return to Hickory Motor Speedway on August 31.
