Mac Tools, a leader in the professional hand tool industry, has extended its agreement with Bristol Motor Speedway as the "Official Professional Hand Tool" for NASCAR's most popular venue. The facility annually hosts two sold-out NASCAR Sprint Cup events as well as two Nationwide Series races that draw the largest crowds on the circuit.

The contract extension takes the partnership between Mac Tools and BMS through 2012.

"We are proud to extend the relationship with the most popular motorsports venue in the USA," commented Don McIlnay, SVP & President, Industrial Tools, Stanley Works. "We know that Bristol Motor Speedway possesses a phenomenal reputation for putting its fans first. Mac Tools feels the same way about its consumers and distributors and we know this association will help convey that message."

Mac Tools, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, distributes automotive tools and equipment in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom (Europe), and Japan.

In 2007 Mac Tools developed the year-long "Dream Garage Sweepstakes" sponsored by the MAC Card, Mac Tools exclusive financing program. The very successful sweepstakes concluded during pre-race ceremonies of the Sharpie 500 at BMS.

"Mac Tools has been a terrific partner for Bristol Motor Speedway," said Jeff Byrd, BMS president and general manager. "We are extremely proud that Mac Tools has decided to remain a part of our family of sponsors and we are honored to be associated with a company that places customer service at the top of its priority list just like we do."
