The Day We Phoned A Friend

Can you really stay mad at these selfie using friendly faces?!

Speedway Motors. America’s Oldest Speed Shop. The Racing and Rodding Specialists. Since 1952. With titles like those and plenty of experts in house, one might ask WHY our team felt compelled to look outside of Speedway’s walls for help.

Answer: We care about our customers and their projects. We want our experts to help the street rodder who is prepping for an upcoming show or the racer getting ready for the track. Our tech support is here to answer questions for you, the customer, instead of building a car for us. The rest of our guys – the ones who don’t answer tech questions on a daily basis – are busy finding and producing the latest and greatest parts on the market to help make the car building and fixing (and breaking) process a whole helluva lot easier for everyone.

As a team of five super beautiful, brilliant, fabulous marketing girls, we worried about building an entire car from the ground up in the very small amount of time we gave ourselves. We’re lucky to have plenty of resources to help if we need it, but we didn’t want to rely on people we work with – people that still have their own day-to-day functions helping you – to drop everything and help us with our build. Sure along this journey we’ll call our own tech line, shop a little more online for upgraded parts, wait expectantly at the parts counter for those packages to be handed over – but our own little expert making project shouldn’t jeopardize YOU from getting the best experience with our great customer service team! So we outsourced a bit. Forgive us.
