Snap-on\u2019s partnership with Cruz Pedregon launched in 1992 coinciding with his first win as a Funny Car pilot.<\/p>\n
\u201cRacing fans know Cruz as a fierce competitor whose name is synonymous with drag racing. As his team\u2019s primary sponsor, we at Snap-on recognize him for being a champion of our brand since 1992,\u201d says Randy Stewart, Snap-on motorsports. \u201cWhen a partnership like ours spans three decades, we\u2019re fortunate to celebrate so many highlights together from Cruz\u2019s first win in a Nitro Funny Car through today, where he is the returning champ of last year\u2019s finals.<\/p>\n
\u201cSnap-on appreciates the work Cruz puts into building a solid, single-car team that consistently finishes each season strong. We\u2019re looking forward to our continued, valued partnership and are proud to support Cruz and NHRA drag racing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate the long-standing partnership with Snap-on, and I say it as often as I can\u2026its sponsorship makes us stronger every year,\u201d said Pedregon. \u201cHaving a name like Snap-on on our car bodies and haulers gains immediate attention and respect. We take seriously the role we play in representing Snap-on at NHRA tracks, through events across the country, and in the pit and shops where the real work gets done. Our goal, always, is to win, and re-signing with Snap-on today already feels like a win.\u201d<\/p>\n
