This is a special page to acknowledge and thank the sponsors supporting the 28th Annual Heartland Model Car Nationals either financially or through goods and services. Without each and every one of these great businesses and individuals behind the show, the Heartland Event would not be possible. Some have website links with their names, we encourage you to visit and support their businesses as well!
As a sponsor of a Heartland Model Car Nationals, your name (and/or business information) is posted here from the time of sale until February of the following year. The KC Slammers offer this as a bonus to you for supporting the show and the hobby of model car building.
* You can download a sponsor form at the bottom of this page. *
