Getty Brett Moffitt waves to the crowd at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The NASCAR Xfinity Series returns to action on Saturday, Aug. 7 after a two-week break. Driver Brett Moffitt and team Our Motorsports are kicking off the week back by announcing a new multi-race sponsorship agreement with Dead On Tools for the No. 02 Chevrolet Camaro.
According to a press release obtained by “Jayski,” Dead On Tools will serve as an associate sponsor for the Sept. 5th Xfinity Series race at Darlington and the Oct. 2nd race at Talladega Superspeedway. The Illinois-based company will then take over as the primary sponsor for the Oct. 30 race at Martinsville Speedway.
“We are very excited to establish a partnership with Dead On Tools,” team owner Chris Our said in a statement. “Having been in construction my entire life I appreciate the value of well-made tools. We are proud to represent the Dead On Tools brand on the job site and at the race track!”
Dead On Tools Will Take Over a NASCAR Race
When Moffitt heads to Martinsville Speedway on Oct. 30, he will do so with the Dead On Tools name on his No. 02 Chevrolet Camaro as the primary sponsor. Though the hardware and equipment storage brand will also make a bigger impact on the race.
The Xfinity Series race will have the name of the Dead On Tools 250 (6 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network) as the title sponsor. The race will mark the first time that the company has taken over a NASCAR event, and Moffitt will strive to reach Victory Lane to make the day special.
“We are beyond excited to partner with the Our Motorsports organization for the Dead On Tools 250 at Martinsville Speedway.” said Brian Ranallo, Marketing Manager, Dead On Tools, in a press release. “Brett Moffitt and the No. 02 team are diligent and hardworking, just like our customers who use Dead On Tools products, so this collaboration aligned perfectly with our brand. We look forward to seeing the Dead On Tools No. 02 Chevy Camaro at Martinsville!”
Prior to reaching Martinsville for the race, Moffitt will try to achieve another goal. He currently sits below the playoff cut line with seven races remaining in the regular season. He still has time to make some moves, but he will likely have to win a race to lock up a spot in the chase for the championship trophy.
