FORT WAYNE, IN (April 2, 2019) – Lane Automotive Sprints On
Dirt powered by King Engine Bearings / MSD Ignition / Motul marketing partner
Benic Enterprises will be sponsoring the 2019 SOD Fast Masters and Crew Chief
of the Year awards.

The SOD Fast Masters are the fastest qualifier in each heat
race and will be awarded a Benic Enterprises certificate at each SOD race in
2019.  So often a track changes
dramatically during qualifying, making luck of the draw important in turning a
fast lap.  The Fast Masters award
addresses this by awarding multiple drivers for their effort.

The prestigious Crew Chief of the Year award recognizes the
one person who did an exceptional job guiding their team throughout the 2019
season.  Lisa (Lukowski) Schinderle
(Thomas Schinderle team) won the CCoY award in 2016, Nathan Whitney (Steve
Irwin team) won it in 2017, and Sean Robinson (Chad Blonde team) in 2018.

Benic Enterprises has become an important resource for SOD
competitors.  It not only offers a full
line of new and used sprint car parts; shock sales, set up, and service; and
sprint car assembly and set up, but also provides full fabrication services as
well as advice and expertise through owner Scott Benic’s skill and success as a
sprint car owner and mechanic.

Benic Enterprises takes pride in its second to none customer
service.   Benic’s customer-friendly shop
has separate rooms for used and new inventory as well as a room for fabricating
and building its race-winning shocks.  Make
Benic Enterprises your one stop shop for all your racing needs!
