Salisbury, NC(March 20, 2011) — As you probably noticed this past weekend, RACE22.com’s “Full Blown” LIVE Coverage was in full swing with three days of coverage from the UARA-STARS Series season opener at Hickory and the Super 5 Series Opener at Caraway Speedway.

You also probably noticed that Five Star Bodies and Hedgecock Racing Enterprises have stepped up to help the staff at RACE22.com to bring fans and drivers the best coverage available of short track races. It also offers the drivers, teams, tracks, series and sponsors a huge amount of exposure to help build the fan base of the drivers, teams, tracks and series.

“We developed our live “Full Blown” coverage to help the drivers, teams, the tracks and the touring series,” said RACE22.com webmaster, Langley Austin. “It gives them all the chance to draw from a pool of race fans and to get their name out there. That’s not only good for the drivers, but the tracks and series benefit as well as the driver, track and series sponsors getting their names out there too.”

For Five Star Bodies, it’s a great chance to not only support the drivers and teams who buy their products by getting them much needed exposure, but it’s also a great way to reach out to RACE22.com’s base group of viewers, which includes drivers, team owners and people who will buy their products.

“We are happy to expand our marketing presence by joining efforts with the best source for Late Model Stock Racing news, RACE22.com,” said Corey Schultz, Sales and Marketing Manager of Five Star Bodies. “We religiously use RACE22.com’s live race coverage to keep up with the latest updates and results at all of the major events. We appreciate the live coverage service provided and we’re sure all the fans out there do too. So we’re happy to add our brand name to this special feature.”

“We have many race teams using our bodies and components, but we hope this campaign will help us reach out not only to those who run our products, but also help us expand to those who don’t currently run our products,” continued Schultz. “The Late Model Stock Car, Limited Late Model and Super Late Model markets are extremely important to us and we are fully committed to providing the highest quality, most durable, top performing bodies and components to our valued customers. The Toughest, Longest Lasting Bodies come from Five Star Bodies.”

Also stepping up to help support the LIVE “Full Blown” Coverage for RACE22.com this year is veteran Late Model Stock Car chassis builder, Jay Hedgecock and his company, Hedgecock Racing Enterprises. Hedgecock chassis’ have won hundreds of races and many championships over the years, building a great reputation as one of the oldest chassis companies in the business.

“We are excited to be a part of RACE22.com’s live coverage,” said Hedgecock. “Like everyone else, we use it to keep up with our customers, even when we can’t be at the track and we know race fans use the service as well. We like having our name associated with this feature and look forward to helping RACE22.com bring you this service this year.”

RACE22.com is looking forward to working on some new features and adding some staff members to help bring fans and drivers more coverage this year thanks to the support of Five Star Bodies and Hedgecock Racing.

“Getting the live coverage to the point where we could garner some support from the companies in this industry was important to the long-term success of our coverage,” said Austin. “Five Star Bodies and Hedgecock Racing’s support will give us the chance to work on not only being able to show up for the coverage, but also adding more features and better ways to give the drivers, teams and tracks exposure.”

“We’re extremely proud to have Five Star and Hedgecock on board for this year and we hope that we can do them a great job and keep them on with us for years to come,” continued Austin. “Our sponsors and supporters are instrumental in us being able to do this for our viewers and fans, so I ask that all of our viewers support these companies and let them know that they appreciate their support of what we do.”

Look for the Five Star Bodies “Full Blown” LIVE Coverage presented by Hedgecock Racing to continue on RACE22.com all season long. RACE22.com has nearly 40 LIVE races planned for this year including all the big events around the Southeast region.
