Sioux Chief Backing Toledo
ARCA Race.
The Automobile Racing Club of America and Sioux Chief Manufacturing
have jointly announced that the rough plumbing components
manufacturer will become the title sponsor of the May 19 ARCA
Menards Series event at Toledo Speedway.
The green flag will wave for the Sioux Chief PowerPEX 200 at 2 pm
E.T. Sunday, May 19, and is scheduled for live coverage on MAVTV.
Sioux Chief Manufacturing first partnered with ARCA and then the
series’ presenting sponsor, Menards, in 2015. The
business-to-business relationship between Menards, the country’s
third-largest home improvement retail chain, and Sioux Chief, a
leading rough plumbing manufacturer and supplier of cutting-edge
products for plumbing and mechanical contractors, brings
opportunities for Sioux Chief to promote its products to the Menards
contractor and customer base. The Northwest Ohio retail market for
Menards is a growth market for Sioux Chief, which is based in the
Kansas City, Missouri metro area.

“We’re excited to move our
sponsorship to Toledo and the Northwest Ohio area,” said Joe
Ismert, president of Sioux Chief. “Northwest Ohio, in fact
the entire state of Ohio, is an emerging market for our
products and the ability to sponsor the ARCA race there is a
fantastic opportunity.”
“We’ve enjoyed sponsoring the ARCA races at Lucas Oil
Raceway and Elko Speedway the past couple years,” Ismert
continued. “We enjoy our relationship with ARCA and
appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the ARCA Menards
Series.”
Sioux Chief is also the title sponsor of ARCA’s Short Track
Challenge, a series within the ARCA Racing Series presented
by Menards in which drivers earn points toward a
championship contested on tracks one mile or less in length.
The eleven events that will make up the Short Track
Challenge kicked off with the March 9 Pensacola 200 from
Five Flags Speedway in Florida and will conclude at Lucas
Oil Raceway Oct. 5. Teams and drivers will race for the
Short Track Challenge championship under a special race-only
points system, and officials will count a team’s ten best
finishes toward the championship, throwing out each team’s
worst finish.
The Sioux Chief PowerPEX 200 at Toledo Speedway will be the
fourth race of the Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge Series.
