all of the tracks around the country to send their officials to learn
from the best."

Five Star Race Car Bodies designs and
manufactures the highest quality body components, polycarbonate
windshields, and body installation tools for most forms of motorsports.
From the short tracks, drag strips, road courses, and even in the
desert, Five Star has one driving passion: to help you WIN!
Five Star Race Car Bodies was founded
by Fran Prestay and Carl Schultz in the late 70’s. After a tough night
of racing, they couldn’t find a pair of Camaro fenders from the local
scrap yards. Like most racers, they were not going to let this stop
them from making the next race. They decided to make their own pair of
sheet metal fenders which quickly caught the attention of the racing
community. After recognizing the need and excitement for fabricated
race car body panels, Fran and Carl seized the opportunity and the
rest is history.
Today, Five Star is the most
recognized brand of short track body components in the world; Five
Star has been a driving force in the very popular ABC (Approved Body
Configuration) program that is changing the face of Asphalt Short
Track racing in North America today.
Five Star Race Bodies designs and
manufactures products for the following world class racing series:
NASCAR
GRAND–AM / Daytona Prototype
NHRA
IHRA
SCCA
Short Track Asphalt
Short Track Dirt
USAC
USAR
Five Star products are designed from
the knowledge and experience of racers utilizing state of the art
engineering software such as AutoCAD, and SolidWorks. In addition, our
manufacturing capabilities include CNC machining, and state of the art
thermoforming by an experienced staff to the toughest quality
standards in the industry.
