ADA, OH (2/14/12) – In preparation for the 2012 racing season, Jon Henry is excited to announce he has locked in all twelve sponsors for his new “Dirty Dozen” program. In addition, Henry is pleased to announce that veteran wrench Scott “Schoolboy” Smith will join the team in a part-time role.
During the offseason, Jon Henry announced that twelve sponsors would come on board at $1,200 each to become members of a fraternal marketing and partnering group known as the “Dirty Dozen”. The sponsorship package included benefits such as personal appearances, victory lane photos, t-shirts, autograph cards, and more. The members of the 2012 Dirty Dozen have officially been announced: Associated Plastics (Ada, OH), Lehman & Lehman (Milford Center, OH), Ron Spencer Real Estate (Lima, OH), Reproductive Assistance (Terrace Park, OH), Automated Transport (Kenton, OH), William H. Bass Trucking (Ada, OH), Home Savings & Loan (Kenton, OH), The JLH Company (Fremont, OH), Re-Deck of Northwest Ohio (Ada, OH), Truman Quarterhorses (Kenton, OH), and Mike & Sheila Keller (Lima, OH). In addition, Henry will welcome back associate sponsor Fultz Fabrications & Speed Shop.
“I’m very, very thankful for the support of everyone in this group,” Henry said of his twelve new marketing partners. “Without their help, we wouldn’t be in as strong of a position as we are to start the 2012 season.”
In addition, Henry has brought Scott “Schoolboy” Smith on board as a part-time wrench for the upcoming season. Smith most recently served as crew chief for Matt Miller at McCullough Motorsports, and helped guide Miller to a $100,000 win in the 2005 Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway.
“Schoolboy is a great addition to our team,” the 2011 Eldora Speedway co-champion said. “His knowledge combined with the solid crew members we already have will just help our team tremendously. I looking forward to working with him throughout the season.”
Armed with a brand new Rocket Chassis and power from Dargie Racing Engines, Henry is tentatively planning to kick off his 2012 campaign sometime in mid-March. The defending UMP Sunoco ALMS Champion, Henry also finished third in the final 2012 national UMP Dirt Late Model points standings. The team is currently planning to compete on the UMP SummerNationals “Hell Tour” this summer.
