Snap-on 250 and Milwaukee

Dig deeper:

This year, Snap-on is commemorating its 105th anniversary with makers and fixers in attendance from its Milwaukee hand tool plant – located in the city where it all began. Snap-on is simultaneously celebrating its 44th year as a partner in IndyCar Series racing this year.

The three podium trophies were crafted by Tom Patsis of Cold Hard Art and prominently feature Snap-on tools topped with the red-and-white race logo. Each of the custom trophies incorporates Snap-on sockets, extensions, wrenches and chisels from the company's Milwaukee plant.
