Vickers Performance Transmissions Inks Deal as the Title Sponsor for the Lil’ Bucks Hootenanny



The Hootenanny Sportsman Drag Racing Entertainment brand will enter the new year with a new title sponsor, Vickers Performance Transmissions, for their third annual Lil’ Bucks Hootenanny event at Dragway 42.

WEST SALEM, OH, (Monday, January 9, 2023) - The Lil’ Bucks Hootenanny, which is the Hootenanny Sportsman Drag Racing Entertainment brand’s largest event with both box and no box classes, will make its return May 25-28, 2023. Since its inception, the event has had the same title sponsor, until this year when Vickers Performance Transmissions assume the title rights to the event.

“We are very pleased to ink this deal with the guys at Vickers Performance Transmissions,” said co-promoter Bryan Yaeger. “Dion, Brennen, and Justin have been great supporters of our Lil’ Bucks event since day one and they are a company that takes great pride in what they do. They are very involved in the racing scene in northeast Ohio and are undoubtedly one of the best transmission builders in the region.”

Vickers Performance Transmissions began its journey over thirty years ago in Alliance, Ohio and today they are a fixture when it comes to transmission performance, whether that be on the street or strip. They are a family owned business who prides themselves on doing the job right and on time at a lower cost for you.

“We first got involved with Bryan and CJ’s races last year and the quality and professionalism of their events made it an easy decision for us to want to get involved again,” said Brennen Vickers. “After speaking with them, we found out there was an opportunity to be deeply involved with the event, so we jumped on it. We believe that with this deal we can help grow the event to a whole new level.”

“I want to thank Gene and Dave Lampshire from TFC Transportation for being an amazing title sponsor the first two years of the event,” said Yaeger. “They were the first to believe in us before anyone else did. They are the reason we are able to keep this dream alive. In order to keep this dream alive, however, we needed to find another great title sponsor. That’s what we have with Vickers Performance Transmissions and this is just the beginning for the biggest little buck race in the land.”

The 2023 Hootenanny Sportsman Drag Racing Entertainment schedule will begin its trio of events starting February 18 in West Salem, Ohio with the 10th Annual CJW Motorsports Solutions Practice Tree Hootenanny Presented By Jim Feaster Racing. Their second event, the 3rd Annual Vickers Performance Transmissions Lil’ Bucks Hootenanny, will be May 25-28 at Dragway 42. Finally, their season concludes once again at Dragway 42 for their 2nd Annual CJW Motorsports Solutions Hootenanny No Box Open June 23-25.
