Snap-on Incorporated has announced a multiyear extension of its title sponsorship of the Milwaukee Mile IndyCar weekend. The company also continues its collaboration as the official supplier of tools and equipment for IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
This decision underscores Snap-on’s deep ties to the state of Wisconsin, as the company was founded in Milwaukee in 1920 and currently operates 15 manufacturing facilities in the United States, including two in southeastern Wisconsin.
Shari Black, CEO of the Wisconsin State Fair Park, expressed her satisfaction with Snap-on’s continued support, stating that the return of IndyCar to Milwaukee Mile in 2024 represents a victory for both the state and fans. Black looks forward to collaborating with Snap-on to deliver the fastest races at the world’s most historic circuit.
The new agreement coincides with the circuit’s preparation for a double race weekend, which will include the Snap-on Makers and Fixers 250 on Saturday and the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250 on Sunday. Fans will be able to enjoy interactive activities at the Free Fan Zone, such as tool demonstrations, driver autographs, and a truck parade.
Nick Pinchuk, president and CEO of Snap-on, highlights the company’s commitment to professionals working in technical fields, asserting that the sponsorship extension reflects deep respect for these workers. At the same time, Mark Miles, CEO of IndyCar, has emphasized the importance of the collaboration with Snap-on as support for the development of technical skills and talent in the motorsport world.
During the race weekend, the same will be dedicated to recognizing the skilled trades professionals who keep essential industries running. Saturday will focus on exploring technical education and its students, while Sunday will recognize a group called “Factory 15,” which represents thousands of Snap-on manufacturing associates. In addition, the winning pit crews from both the Milwaukee Mile and the Indianapolis 500 will receive the Snap-on Makers and Fixers Award.
