SPARKS, Md., Jan. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GEARWRENCH has increased its racing program dramatically over the past five years, driving a deeper connection not just with racing fans but with those who build, maintain, repair and race. GEARWRENCH is proud to expand that racing program in 2021 with both Monster Energy Supercross and the Monster Energy Kawasaki race team.

The series sponsorship makes GEARWRENCH the Official and Exclusive Mechanics Hand Tool and Storage Sponsor for 10 of the 17 races this year, starting with Saturday's season opener in Houston.

"It's not just about the races. It's the lifestyle and the passion that is shared on and off the track that makes this a great fit," said Rena Fiorello, Director of Brand Management for GEARWRENCH. "People who follow this sport value the relationship between success and the tools it takes to get there. We've seen phenomenal growth and engagement in recent years with our racing programs and partnering with Monster Energy Supercross—the highest-profile off-road racing series on the planet—is the next evolution of that."

Meanwhile, GEARWRENCH will team up with the No. 1-ranked Monster Energy Kawasaki race team, featuring reigning Supercross champion and three-time AMA Pro Motocross champion Eli Tomac, and teammate Adam Cianciarulo returning for his sophomore year in the premier class after an impressive rookie season.

"We are very excited to enter into a partnership with GEARWRENCH," said Dan Fahie, Senior Manager of Racing with Monster Energy Kawasaki.
