Federated to Sponsor Ken Schrader Racing ARCA Team in 2011
Caught in the Catchfence™Federated Auto Parts has announced it will sponsor the Ken Schrader Racing ARCA team in 2011. The Federated Auto Parts car will be driven by one of the fastest newcomers to racing, Tom Hessert.
“Federated and Ken Schrader have had a tremendous relationship through the years and our sponsorship of the Schrader Racing ARCA team in 2011 is a natural progression of that relationship,” said J.R. Bishop, director of racing and event marketing for Federated Auto Parts. “We are honored to continue our association with one of the legendary names in NASCAR and excited to sponsor one of the young stars of racing. With a great owner and great driver, it should be a tremendous season for the Federated Auto Parts ARCA team.”
In 2010, Hessert finished third in the final ARCA points standings with one win, 10 top-five and 15 top-10 finishes. His victory came on July 10 in the Prairie Meadows 200 at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. In each of his two previous ARCA seasons, Hessert finished eighth in the season points standings. The 2011 ARCA season begins Feb. 12 with the ARCA 200 at the Daytona Speedway. That race will be televised live by SPEED-TV at 3:30 p.m. EST.
