STAUNTON VA (3-17-10) - Federated Car Care will be the presenting sponsor of two ARCA Racing Series races in 2010: the Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care at Toledo Speedway on May 23 and the Southern Illinois 100 presented by Federated Car Care Sept. 6 at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds in DuQuoin, Ill.

"We are proud to be the presenting sponsor of the Toledo and DuQuoin ARCA races this year," says J.R. Bishop, director of racing and event marketing for Federated Auto Parts. "ARCA is one of the most action-packed racing series and many of the ARCA drivers will be the NASCAR stars of tomorrow. We have great customers in Toledo, DuQuoin and the surrounding areas, and the ARCA races are a great way to entertain those customers at the track."

As an added highlight, longtime Federated spokesperson and veteran NASCAR/ARCA driver Ken Schrader will drive a Federated-sponsored vehicle in each of the races. Schrader will also drive a Federated car in over 100 dirt track races in 2010 as well as select NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races.

"We are pleased that Kenny Schrader will be driving a Federated car in these two races," Bishop says. "Schrader is a great ambassador for Federated Car Care and our customers love getting to know him at our hospitality events."
