"Iron Man"

 

DeFrance Racing is the ONLY team to have a perfect attendance record continuously from 1987 through 2006 in IMCA Deery Bros Summer Series events, thus the name "Iron Man" of IMCA Deery Bros Racing.

 

Based in Marshalltown, Iowa, we operate out of our own race shop where we build and prepare our own race cars, which allows us to maintain close personal contact within the racing community in a timely and cost efficient manner.

 

DeFrance Racing

 

 

DeFrance Racing is an established Professional IMCA Late Model Dirt Racing Team, currently residing in Marshalltown, Iowa. The facility is presently undergoing a total reorganization and renovation which will enable the team to become a major force in IMCA Late Model Dirt Racing.

 

In general, we see corporate sports sponsorship as the only medium which integrates your advertising message into your consumer's natural lifestyle; and specifically, we see motor sports as the premier marketing tool of the nineties.

 

Our experience in motor sports comes from over thirty years of participation in building and maintaining race cars, as well as competing in races throughout the United States. Late Model Dirt Racing has quickly become on of the fastest growing and most popular series in all of racing.

 

Our personnel enjoy excellent contacts with a wide ranging and growing number of personalities within the IMCA Racing Series. Meaningful relationships among leading promoters, track operators, publicists, competitors and sanctioning body officials exist to give us a solid foundation from which to effectively pursuer our objectives as your sponsored Race Team.

 

We believe in ourselves, in motor sports and in the fact that with the proper financial support you can provide, we can begin to realize our full potential and certainly maximize the exposure potential of your sponsorship.
