ADCO Driveline and Custom Exhaust returns as fast time sponsor at Placerville Speedway
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA – February 27, 2017…The Placerville Speedway is proud to welcome back ADCO Driveline and Custom Exhaust as official fast time sponsor of the Thompsons Auto Group Winged 360 Sprint Cars. The fast qualifier each night will go home with $100 cash at all 15 Red Hawk Casino Championship Series events.
ADCO Driveline and Custom Exhaust owner Ken Short has been around the track for years and is a sponsor of numerous cars that compete at the facility, in addition to being on the pit crew for Placerville Speedway regular CJ Humphreys.
“We’re definitely excited to help out once again at Placerville Speedway and are happy to sponsor fast time for the fifth year in a row,” Short commented. “I pretty much grew up at the track and we sponsor a lot of the cars that compete out there, so it’s really a natural fit for our company. I really like the direction that Placerville Speedway is going and hope to see it prosper for years to come. I of course want to thank my wife Theresa for being a huge part of this and allowing me the opportunity to do what we do.”
ADCO Driveline has been building and repairing drivelines for nearly 40 years. Founded in 1974, it was purchased in 1980 by Rich Lyman. Ken Short managed the shop for several years before purchasing it with his wife, Theresa, in 2007. Ken, a Ponderosa High School graduate, was born and raised in Placerville. He spent 11 years at Midas, managing for 8 of those years repairing and servicing brakes, exhaust and suspension. He then worked for SPD in Rancho Cordova, where he ran their tube bending operation and participated in exhaust design.
Ken brought these skills to ADCO Driveline, where he saw an opportunity to fulfill his dreams of owning and operating his own shop. Last year ADCO Driveline and Custom Exhaust was voted best muffler shop in El Dorado County by the Mountain Democrat. For more information visit http://www.adcodriveline.com/
