Die Craft Machining & Engineering

Today at Lawrenceburg Speedway, we come together again to honor Justin Owen.

The memorial race and trophy are a way to pause, reflect, and remember—but the truth is, Justin isn’t someone we think about just once a year. He’s part of the everyday at Die Craft. In the conversations, in the shop, in the way we handle challenges, and in the way we show up for each other.

Being part of building this trophy each year is an honor. It’s not just about creating something that looks good on race night—it’s about putting real thought, effort, and meaning into something that represents a guy who left a lasting impact on everyone around him.

This year’s trophy was once again a team effort, and we want to specifically recognize Joe Rouse and JC Caseltine for their work bringing it together. Also, a big thank you to Michael Parks of GZERO Additive for the third year of collaboration helping make this thing what it is.

The race is a moment. The trophy is a symbol. But the memory—and the impact—last all year.

Due to loss of power the shop will be closed today at 10:00AM. We expect to be back up tomorrow morning at regular time.

Big congrats to Bob!

Bob was one of nine hourly employees who made it through all of 2025 with perfect attendance — no tardies, no call-offs, no excuses.
Those nine were thrown into the Wheel of Names, and after a three-round showdown, Bob came out on top and took home the $250 prize.

Showing up still matters — and Bob proved it. 👏💪
