Everyone
knows that Jeff is a tool guy. So his partnership with IRWIN Industrial Tools
is a perfect fit. For the third consecutive year, Jeff is enjoying a
successful partnership with IRWIN.
In 2007, Jeff
served as the emcee of IRWIN’s Ultimate Tradesman Challenge, a nationwide
search for America’s top tradesmen. At four NASCAR venues, Jeff assisted in the
regional and finals of the program in which over 9,000 tradesmen
participated.
The IRWIN UTC
involves measuring, marking and drilling a piece of lumber, using IRWIN tools,
as quickly and accurately as possible. IRWIN
has been in the professional tool business for over 100 years with brands like
Vise-Grip, Marathon, Straight-Line, and Speedbor. The pros on the jobsites
trust IRWIN tools everyday and this competition was created to find out who is
the Ultimate Tradesman.
This year,
Jeff has stepped up his relationship, now serving as a spokesperson for IRWIN
with appearances, videos, etc.
Listen to Jeff as he works his IRWIN Tools magic every Monday morning on the nationally syndicated "Rick & Bubba" radio show.
This year’s
IRWIN UTC is better than ever with a possible $1.26 million prize. For the full
event schedule and more details on the Challenge, visit www.irwinchallenge.com.
