10 January 1999
Cornwell Quality Tools Company and the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) have reached an agreement which will showcase Cornwell Tools as the Official Hand Tools of ARCA. The 3 year program gives Cornwell Tools official product status with ARCAs prestigious Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series as well as the new Lincoln Welders Truck Series."Its the perfect fit," said Cornwell Tools Product Planning Manager Scott Martindale. "Race cars need tools and tools need race cars. Were proud to be associated with ARCA. Their longevity in motorsports speaks for itself and we feel a great place to market our products."
In every event, Cornwell Tools will award the 1st and 8th place race finishers product certificates for $150 each in the Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series and $100 for each position in the Lincoln Welders Truck Series..
Additionally, the new official company will dole out $1,000 total in product certificates to the top 3 Bondo/Mar-Hyde point finishers; $500, $300 and $200 as well as $500 total to the top 3 Truck Series point finishers; $250, $150 and $100. For the final exclamation point, the champion crew chiefs from both series will receive new Cornwell Tool boxes; a $4,000 unit to the B/M-H champion and a $2,500 model to the Truck champion. Also, some lucky attendee, by way of a lottery drawing, will receive a $2,500 tool box at the B/M-H awards banquet as well as the Truck banquet.
"Were obviously delighted to have Cornwell Tools on board with us," said ARCA Marketing Director Jim Clarke. "Cornwell Quality Tools Company represents the epitome of quality which is exactly what we strive for here at ARCA. I couldnt agree with Scott more. It truly is the perfect fit."
