WEST UNION, Iowa – A chassis builder with continued success at IMCA venues across the country takes home a new title at the largest IMCA event.
Rage Chassis will be the new sponsor of the Modified Race of Champions held during the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.
Chassis builder West Union, owned by Justin and Holly O’Brien, is providing a portion of the points fund payable for the 12 car, 12 lap, $1,000 race. The 35th Annual RoC will be held on September 9th at Boone Speedway.
Past RoC winners as well as 2023 track champions or points leaders and former modified national, regional and Super Nationals champions competing in the 41st annual Super Nationals are eligible to qualify for the Rage Chassis Race of Champions.
“The Race of Champions is one of the most important races in IMCA and one of the coolest events in the Super Nationals,” said O’Brien. “It honors drivers who have made an effort throughout the season. It’s cool to be a part of that and the Super Nationals in general.”
O’Brien built his first modified in 2008 and Rage Chassis now races weekly in more than 30 states. The first Northern SportMod rolled off the assembly line in West Union in 2014 and Rage has also been building stock cars and hobby stocks since then.
“The Race of Champions has become one of the most important events not only of the Super Nationals, but of the entire IMCA season. Winning the RoC is a career highlight for any driver,” said Carson Becker-Gramm, IMCA Marketing Integration and Sponsorship Director. “Justin and Rage Chassis are the perfect title sponsors for a race of this magnitude.”
Rage Chassis, a past IMCA Manufacturers’ Cup winner, also sponsored the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds special held during the Fayette County Fair, just down the road from O’Brien’s West Union store.
“Becoming title sponsor for the IMCA Modified Race of Champions is a great way for us to give back to our customers in particular and to Modified drivers in general,” said O’Brien, who has raced in the sanctioned class since 2009. Recreational athletes keep this sport going. It’s cool to have another way to give something back to them.”
