Sept. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- (Las Vegas, Nev.) - Team EQ® racers Richie Gustin and Sean Johnson captured first place in the Modified and Stock Car divisions at the 2011 IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Cenex.  Gustin led a majority of the laps at the Boone (Iowa) Speedway in the September 10 race to earn $5,700 for the victory to become the highest paid Modified champion in IMCA history.

Utilizing EQ cylinder heads, Gustin's engine was built by Bob Heckt, owner, Heckt Power Products, Dysart, Iowa.

Johnson ran in front from start to finish for his victory in the Stock Car division utilizing the EQ 50cc x 180cc runner heads.

"We congratulate Richie on his record setting performance against a strong field of drivers in the modified division," said Eric Haugland, EQ's national accounts manager. "Sean is a competitive and talented driver who bought our heads for his short block Chevy and did an amazing job against the veteran 30 car field he faced."
