legacy by passing the torch to long time employee

Saugerties,
NY (12/19/05) -Nac’s
Racing, one of the most prominent names in the ATV Industry,
is pleased to announce new owners for the 17 year old
company. Former owners Jim & Shirley Naccarato have
sold the company to long time employee Douglas Bruck and
his wife Jeanette and their children Laney and Sam.
Nac’s Racing has been an industry leader, specializing
in the sale of ATV parts & accessories and sponsorships
of a National Team and individual racers.
New owner, Doug Bruck, is a former ATV racer himself
and has been employed by the company for the past 15
years working as a salesman and mechanic; he helped
prepare many of the Team’s race quads over the
years. For the past 5 years Doug was the General Manager
of Nac’s and has come to know the business inside
and out.
The Bruck’s plan to continue the tradition of
Nac’s Racing maintaining the business objectives
to provide top quality, brand name products and a high
degree of service for ATV enthusiasts. They plan to
expand the business to include products for Utility
ATV’s and to reactivate a part of the business
that was very prominent in the early 1990’s, which
is to offer complete service for the repair and restoration
of ATV’s and the modification, preparation, and
complete builds of race quads. Installation will be
available for all products sold by Nac’s.
The Bruck’s also plan to continue the legacy
of Nac’s in promoting the sport of ATV racing
with the robust sponsorship programs that have been
a part of the company’s tradition. At the time
of this writing, negotiations were underway to have
top National riders compete under the Nac’s banner
in 2006. Among the riders being talked to are Rocco
Arno, Jr. a Nac’s rider in 2005 that captured
2nd place in both the Pro Am Unlimited and Pro Am Production
classes; and Nate Frees, a former Team Nac’s rider,
that plans to return to racing in 2006 after being sidelined
for 2 years with a severe injury. Nate won back to back
National Championships in the Open Pro Am class in 2002
and 2003.
Over the years Team Nac’s Racing has compiled
a very impressive record on the race circuits including
the following National Championships: 7x GNC Pro, 6x
GNC Pro Am, 3x GNCC Pro, and 15 GNC Amateur Titles.
The team also won the first ever GNC Pro Production
Championship and GNCC Pro Production Championship in
2003. The company has received ATV Sport’s People’s
Choice Awards for Race Team of the Year in 2002 and
Outstanding Sponsor in 1997 and 2000.
In 2002, Team Nac’s Racing was the first team
on the Grand National Circuit to have full factory backing
since 1987 with Cannondale; that was followed in 2003
with factory backing from American Suzuki/Yoshimura.
One cannot help but speculate that the success of these
teams was an influential factor in prompting the Japanese
manufacturers to get back into the sport with full factory
teams and factory support for other teams and riders.
For nearly two decades, former owners Jim & Shirley
Naccarato have done extensive traveling with the race
team and the trackside support & vending trailer,
they now plan to enjoy some ‘time off’ and
do some traveling without the strict schedules and time
constraints that were always present owning and operating
the business while traveling the race circuits. The
Naccarato’s wanted to take the opportunity to
say a few words “We want to thank all of our customers
and racers that relied on Nac’s over the years,
and to thank all of the companies that have provided
us with quality products and excellent service. We are
especially thankful for the sponsors that have supported
our race teams and to those riders and families that
were an integral part of the Nac’s teams. We have
made many friends on the national circuit and hope to
revisit with many of them in the near future. To all
who have touched our hearts and left us with positive
memories we wish you the very best of luck; thank you
and may God bless you”.
Although the parent corporations of the business has
changed from Nac’s Radical Racing, Inc. to Nac’s
Racing Motorsports, Inc., the business name of Nac’s
Racing, along with its logos and trademarks will remain
the same, as will the physical address of 645 Rt. 212,
Saugerties, NY 12477. Also remaining the same will be
