By Brian Liskai (Attica, OH) Racing and auto parts…you can’t have one without the other. That is why Attica Raceway Park and World Auto Parts of Huron, Ohio, are teaming up for the 2007 racing season.
World Auto Parts, based in Cleveland, Ohio since 1982, expanded to the Huron, Ohio area last year. According to World Auto Parts representatives Mark Shetzer and Rob Natole – who have both been very active in grassroots racing – the partnership between the company and “Ohio’s Finest Racing” venue will be very beneficial for the racers, fans and World Auto Parts not only in 2007, but for years to come.
“Both company’s thrive on that personal touch and know what it takes to be rewarding for both parties involved,” said Shetzer.
Shetzer said he knows how race fans and business owners in the racing community support those that support racing.
“As we grow in the Ohio area it is important for us to be involved with company’s that reach both fans and businesses so they become familiar with us,” added Natole.
World Auto Parts of Huron will sponsor race nights on Friday, May 11 and Saturday, August 18. Also, Attica Raceway Park’s premier weekly division will be called the World Auto Parts of Huron 410 Sprints.
