About Wehrs Machine & Racing Products
Wehrs Machine & Racing Products has been a cornerstone of American circle track racing since 1997. Founded in Bangor, Wisconsin by Chad Wehrs out of a lifelong passion for crafting metal parts, the company grew from a single lathe in the back of a body shop into one of the most respected names in short track racing. Every product that bears the Wehrs name is 100% made in the USA, a point of pride the company has upheld since its earliest days.
What separates Wehrs Machine from the competition is the depth of hands-on racing experience behind every design. The Wehrs family has owned, sponsored, built, and even driven dirt and asphalt race cars for decades — giving their engineering team a firsthand understanding of what breaks, what adjusts, and what wins races. That real-world perspective is baked into every bracket, spacer, and tool they produce.
The product lineup is purpose-built for circle track and short track racing, covering a wide spectrum of chassis and suspension needs. Among their most in-demand components are shock mounts, which allow racers to precisely dial in suspension geometry and shock placement on the fly. Their adjustable shock mount designs — inspired by collaboration with top-level dirt track drivers — let teams fine-tune a car's dynamic attitude in small, repeatable increments, a critical advantage on ever-changing track surfaces.
For chassis fabricators and race teams that build their own cars, Wehrs offers precision tubing notching tools engineered to make clean, accurate cuts in tube stock. A well-notched joint is the foundation of a strong weld, and Wehrs' notchers are built to the tolerances that racing demands. Similarly, their suspension limiter straps — including spring steel strap variants — give teams a reliable, durable method to control suspension travel and protect drivetrain components on rough tracks.
Wheel fitment and track width are equally important to setup, and Wehrs addresses both with their line of wheel spacers and wheel spacer kits. Designed for popular circle track wheel patterns including wide-5 applications, these precision-machined spacers let teams fine-tune track width without the guesswork.
With over 685 products spanning chassis hardware, tools, drivetrain accessories, engine components, and more, Wehrs Machine is a one-stop resource for the serious short track racer. Their commitment to domestic manufacturing, racing-proven design, and continuous innovation has earned them a loyal following among professionals and grassroots competitors alike.
