The Stanley Works, parent company of Mac Tools, along with Kalitta Motorsports, have teamed up to bring a bold, new look to the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series on the quarter-mile drag strip at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading, Pa., Aug. 16-19.

A special, one-time-only paint scheme will adorn the Top Fuel dragster driven by Doug Kalitta at the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals. The expressive decorations on the quick machine employ a classic hot rodding, flat-black base combined with a modern, faster style with hard-edged and reflective bright yellow and fluorescent red accents.

“It looks really racy,” Kalitta said. “I like the contrast of colors and the combination of the matte and glossy finishes. It looks fast and I'm sure NHRA fans have never seen anything quite like it.

“It's a pleasure for us, through our great partnership with Mac Tools, to bring our new Stanley car to the NHRA drag racing fans at Maple Grove Raceway and to motorsports fans around the globe.”

“We look forward to getting the Stanley name in front of millions of loyal NHRA fans,” Scott Bannell, Vice President of Brand Marketing for Stanley said of the brand exposure from this paint scheme.

Stanley Tools, based in New Britain, Conn., is located about four hours northeast of Reading.
