Parts Authority inked as Casey Shuman's primary sponsor at Chili Bowl
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Industry veteran, Casey Shuman, returns to Tulsa, Oklahoma for the 38th annual Chili Bowl Midget Nationals with Parts Authority livery adorning his Toyota Powered, Spike Chassis, Dunlap Performance #32 entry.
Founded in 1973, Parts Authority is a leading national distributor of automotive and truck parts in the USA. The trusted brand has loyally supported motorsports for many years including partnering with Dunlap Performance’s two-car team at Chili Bowl Midget Nationals the last three years. In 2024, Parts Authority is shifting to primary sponsorship of Shuman’s #32 entry with Toyota, Whitz Racing, Wilwood Disc Brakes, Factory Kahne Shocks, and Bell Racing Helmets as support.
Casey Shuman is the son of legendary racer, Ron Shuman. The Shuman name carries respect and a lengthy history in the industry due to Ron and Casey’s dedicated careers. Race wins, championships, and record holdings decorate the Shuman name, and their tie to Parts Authority runs deeper than a singular sponsorship contract. Ron has played a pivotal role in outside sales for the Parts Authority family for thirteen years.
“Parts Authority has been a partner with Dunlap Performance for a few years,” said Casey Shuman, “I’m pumped to have them as my primary sponsor this year so I can represent them on the massive stage that is Chili Bowl Midget Nationals. This is the biggest crowd I race in front of each year, and to use my time in Tulsa to shine the spotlight on a brand like Parts Authority is truly an honor.”
The Tempe, AZ native has found success in the SageNet Center at Expo Square in Tulsa, OK throughout his career with five A-Main event starts. Shuman seeks his sixth career Chili Bowl A-Main event start with Parts Authority colors. The 38th annual Chili Bowl Midget Nationals begins Sunday, January 7, 2024, with Practice Day and concludes Saturday, January 13, 2024. The Parts Authority #32 will compete in Thursday’s preliminary event on January 11, 2024, as well as Saturday’s finale.
