STIVERS STEPS UP


A tip of the Agent’s helmet to Pro Mod racer Rick Stivers. The Lexington, Kentucky, racer is going to pay $1,000 to the No. 1 qualifier in the Pro Extreme class at each ADRL event this year. Now the award will be in the name of his HVAC company, but the Agent knows that there is little chance he will sell a lot of AC systems by sponsoring this award; Stivers is doing it just to support the sport. And if you live near Lexington, make sure you buy your HVAC needs from Rick. (DRO file photo) [1-20-2006]
