Wednesday, November 14, 2007 (Daytona Beach, FL) – When Fran Prestay and Carl Schultz, the owners of Five Star Race Car Bodies in Twin Lakes, WI, reflect back on the 2007 racing season, only one word will say it all…success. Not only have they seen success with their company but success within their company through the ASA Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by Echo Outdoor Power Equipment.

First, their success within the company came with the help of one of their 85 employees, Brandon Hill. Hill, who works in Five Star’s Shipping & Receiving department, competed as a rookie during the 2007 inaugural ASAMT season where he finished 11th in points with one win, one top-five and four top-ten finishes in eight feature starts.

It was his win back on Friday, July 20th at Madison International Speedway that makes this story so special. Five Star was one of the event sponsors that night and brought two busloads of their employees and families to MIS.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL (October 24, 2006) – The ASA Midwest Tour is pleased to announce sponsorship from Five Star Race Car Bodies.

Five Star is located in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, and is committed to providing the racing community with quality after market body panels specifically designed for racing. What started as a side job for co-owners Fran Prestay and Carl Schultz in the late 1970s is now a 120,000 square foot facility housing over 80 employees in engineering, design, composite molding, metal and window forming, and the national sales office.

Schultz expressed great confidence in the Tour, saying, "We are excited about the ASA Midwest Tour and proud to be part of the contingency awards program. There is a large group of very talented late model race teams in the upper Midwest most of whom are long time customers of Five Star. We are impressed with Steve and Tim and the team they are assembling. We think their plan will give the racers and the fans everything they are looking for."
