Makita Backs Snowmobile Race Team
Makita U.S.A. announced its return to motorsports racing as title sponsor for the Warnert Racing team as it competes in the 2023-2024 AMSOIL Championship Snocross Tour. Makita has been a long-time sponsor of Warnert Racing in the snow, and its partnership will include on-site activations on race days so fans can see the latest Makita solutions.
Warnert Racing has achieved back-to-back championship runs in the two previous seasons. Makita provides team technicians with XGT cordless power tools. The XGT System includes more than 125 tools and gives users one battery platform for a full range of equipment and tools including core handheld tools like impact drivers, drills, and more.
“The Makita Team is really proud of our years of partnership with Warnert Racing and BRP,” said Brent Withey, vice president, brand marketing, Makita U.S.A., Inc. “Warnert Racing and BRP Racing are proven winners, and they use Makita XGT cordless system. Whether in the hands of team crews or at work in precision operations at the BRP manufacturing facility, Makita tools give our partners premium quality, legendary durability and precision engineering that keeps this team on track and in a position to win. As the returning sponsor, we are super pumped to get back to the races with the loyal fans who support the team and the exciting sport of Snocross.”
Off-Track Activities
Makita encourages fans to visit its booth at each race for a chance to win an XGT Brushless Blower Kit, as well as Warnert Racing and Makita USA swag for giveaways. The Makita booth will include hands-on demonstrations of XGT tools, Outdoor Adventure products, Makita and Warnert merchandise for purchase, a Warnert Racing snowmobile on display, and representatives from the Warnert Race Team to help with any questions you may have.
Warnert Racing has consistently improved its equipment and roster to compete and win in the upcoming season in the snow. The entire team from the riders to the mechanics and team owners have consistently strived to be the team to beat.
“We are really excited about this season and some of the changes that have happened during the offseason. Of course, we are thrilled about Jordan Lebel moving to Pro and the addition of Topi Posti to our team in Pro Lite.” said Mark Warnert, team owner of Warnert Racing, “I believe Naeli Lebel will have her best year to date in the Pro Women’s class and Dylan Lebel will surely be one of the guys to beat in Sport. We have a team of winners and think we will be contending for championships in all classes.
We are again glad to have our core group of sponsors continue to support us. Racing at a high level will always have its challenges, but with partners like Makita and Skidoo we are able to have the resources to put our best foot forward.”
