YPSILANTI, Mich. (Feb. 26, 2025) — One of the longest-running sports marketing partnerships ever is back for another year in 2025 as Mac Tools returns to the Kalitta Motorsports Top Fuel dragster for its 24th-consecutive season as its primary corporate partner, the team announced today. The 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series begins March 7-9, 2025 at the Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla.
Doug Kalitta will once again pilot the red and white Mac Tools Toyota Top Fuel dragster, but the team will debut fresh, new livery when the season starts next week. Team Kalitta’s Mac Tools primary partnership, which began in 2001, spans more than two decades in a relationship that feels more like a friendship. Mac Tools is a significant part of the long-term success Kalitta Motorsports enjoys in NHRA Drag Racing.
“Our partnership with Kalitta Motorsports not only benefits our brand, but also helps promote the sport of drag racing and inspires the next generation of automotive professionals,” Mac Tools president Phil Cox said. “Kalitta Motorsports has been an amazing ambassador of the Mac Tools brand for more than 25 years, and we are excited to see what the new season holds for Doug Kalitta and the entire Kalitta Motorsports team.
“As a leading manufacturer and distributor of professional-grade tools and equipment, Mac Tools is committed to supporting the automotive industry and the dedicated professionals who keep it running. We are proud to align ourselves with Doug Kalitta and his team – they exemplify the same level of skill, precision and dedication that we strive for in our products and services.”
“Mac Tools is more than a corporate partner,” Kalitta said. “When you have a long-term relationship like we have, it’s more like family than partnership, and the new livery is pretty cool! It was great to bring them a championship a couple years ago, and we’re hungry to win another one this season. We’re all really proud to represent Mac Tools and all of their distributors, and we look forward to more great times together.”
