ULMA is pleased to announce the return of FastShafts as a contingency sponsor and official business partner of the Lucas Cattle Company ULMA. Pat Fagen created, owns, and has operated Axle Exchange, Inc. and FastShafts for 23 years. His driveshaft line is the result of many years of testing and building drive shafts for local drivers to nation-wide racing teams and distributors.

FastShafts, a division of Axle Exchange, Inc., has been producing drive shafts for Late Models, Modified, Stock Car, Dirt Truck, and Hobby Stock race cars since 1992. Axle Exchange, Inc. originally opened as a constant velocity axle rebuilder, its first drive shaft line was introduced in 1993; currently FastShafts offers carbon fiber, steel, aluminum, and chromoly drive shafts.

Their product line includes drive shaft repair, new drive shafts, center sections for Ford 9″ rear ends, transmission slip yokes, rear end yokes, ring and pinions, bearings, spools, gears and shim kits. Their specialty services include gear rental, lightening, and polishing gears as well as being a repair facility for both Bert and Brinn transmissions.

Fagen has agreed to provide a new drive shaft for the 2015 ULMA Champion and the 2015 Rookie of the Year. In addition, Fagen also informed ULMA that he will give away one aluminum driveshaft w/yoke to the overall champion of the highly anticipated Independence Day Weekend Triple Crown Shootout!

ULMA wishes to extend its sincere thanks to Fagen and the entire FastShafts staff for their belief in the association and for their decision to partner with ULMA. Everyone at ULMA is honored to be part of the Axle Exchange/FastShafts family once again.
