VAN BUREN, Ark. (May 14) - Schoenfeld Headers contingency awards go to drivers in six IMCA divisions competing at designated special events this season.
The Van Buren, Ark., company, manufacturer of the official muffler for IMCA, will give $50 product certificates at 80 designated specials for J & J Steel Late Models, Modifieds, KSE Racing Products Sprint Cars, Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods, Southern SportMods and Sunoco Stock Cars.
