Salem, IN (November 29, 2009) – Champion Racing Association Officials have announced that Crumrine Buckle Manufacturing, a division of Crumrine Gold & Silversmiths, will continue its sponsorship of a unique award for all feature winners with the CRA Street Stocks during the 2010 season. Crumrine Buckle Manufacturing will award each feature winner with a specially design buckle that has a retail value of $150.

"I would like to say that is a great honor and privilege to represent Crumrine and participate with Champion Racing Association again in 2010," remarked Jeff Lathan representing Crumrine Buckle Manufacturing. " We look forward to presenting each feature winner in the CRA Street Stocks with this unique award, we had a great response to the awards during the 2009 season, it was something really special that the winning drivers very much appreciated!"

Crumrine Gold & Silversmiths is one of the world's largest and most progressive manufacturers of belt buckles, jewelry and accessories. Crumrine began as a small jewelry manufacturer in Santa Ana, Ca. in 1948. In the early sixties they began developing a specialized manufacturing process that allowed for the production of "hand engraved" buckles and jewelry in large quantities. This process was the first of its kind in the world. Continued refinement in this process has allowed Crumrine to offer a product line that is recognized as the market leader in both value for the dollar and consistency in quality.

In 2008 M&F Western Products, based out of Sulphur Springs, Texas purchased Crumrine. Each buckle still receives the same hand craftsmanship, hand finishing and inspection that went into the company's earliest products. By using the latest tooling and manufacturing techniques, Crumrine maintains its long-standing edge in the categories of engraving depth, detail, luster of finish and overall merchandise selection.

Throughout its 50+-year history, the company has successfully maintained several important operating philosophies. The most notable of these is the company's continued use of the finest quality manufacturing materials available-without compromise. Last but not least is Crumrine's commitment to the lifestyles it serves. More information on Crumrine is available on their web site at www.crumrineonline.com.

Jeff Lathan is the owner of the #58 CRA Street Stock driven by Larry Lathan that finished 10^th in CRA Street Stock points in 2009. Jeff Lathan will be at the 2009 CRA Awards Banquet to present CRA Street Stock Season Championship Buckles to car owner Tim Bennett and driver Joe Beaver.
