Southeastern Equipment Company Partners with Bova Racing: A Celebration of Family, Community, and Shared Values

November 5th, 2025, Cambridge, OH— Southeastern Equipment Company is proud to continue its partnership with Bova Racing, a family-run sprint car team based in Struthers, Ohio. The collaboration highlights Southeastern’s commitment to supporting local, family-owned businesses that embody the same values the company was built on — hard work, loyalty, and community pride.

For the Bova family, racing isn’t just a pastime — it’s a family tradition. Cody Bova, a seasoned 410 sprint car racer, competes under the banner of Bova Racing, a team owned by his parents Joe & Sherri Bova, with his father-in-law Scott Priester serving as crew chief and engine builder. Cody’s wife, Kirstie, manages the team’s social media presence, keeping fans connected both on and off the track. 

Beyond the racetrack, Southeastern has proudly supported the Bova family through their business, J.S. Bova Excavating, a trusted Ohio-based excavation company built on generations of experience. Through this partnership, Southeastern provides reliable Kobelco construction equipment to keep J.S. Bova Excavating’s operations running smoothly and efficiently.

“Working with J.S. Bova Excavating and supporting Bova Racing represents exactly what Southeastern stands for — building lasting relationships and standing behind the families who help build our communities,” said Chris Kurz, Regional Sales Manager at Southeastern Equipment Company. “The Bova family brings the same drive, passion, and teamwork to both their business and their racing program that we strive to deliver every day.”

Southeastern Equipment Company is proud to stand behind Bova Racing and the entire Bova family — celebrating not only their accomplishments on the track, but their dedication to excellence in the field and in their community.
