Pre-Race Report

Cruz Pedregon and team head back to Norwalk as winners of last year’s race here and looking for a repeat victory in Ohio. Cruz and his Snap-on® “Makers and Fixers” Dodge® SRT® Hellcat® continue to hold onto fifth place in the NHRA Funny Car rankings and distancing the team in points from the next closest competitors in the field.

“It’s great to return to ‘America’s Track’ as the 2021 event champs. That win here last year was special because it showed how much we’d improved as a team. And this team has only gotten better,” says Cruz. “We so appreciate the Bader family’s hospitality, and it’s going to be a great weekend to have Nick Pinchuk, the chairman and CEO of our primary sponsor Snap-on, and other Snap-on reps back at an NHRA race this year. Nick loves talking racing and seeing all the Snap-on boxes and tools being put to the test in the pit.”

Another Snap-on rep at the race this weekend will be Nitro Franchisee Mark Earnest. Mark was self-employed at a repair shop before investing in his Snap-on franchise 22 years ago. He’s grown and expanded his business over those two decades. He says he most likes the service he and his team get to provide their customers. Snap-on is encouraging Makers and Fixers like Mark’s customers, and you, to share your stories at makersandfixers.com.
