Tools for the Trades™ brings local high school students to pits for hands on experience working
in the trades.
New Smyrna, Fla., February 23, 2023 — For the first time ever,
Sons of Speed® will be broadcast on Next Level Sports & Entertainment available on multiple cable and streaming platforms
around the globe and live-streamed on YouTube, bringing all the excitement of the classic motorcycle racing series to fans who can’t make it to the track.
With color commentary from NASCAR’s Kyle Petty, viewers will be fully immersed in the races from the comfort of their homes. The races are possible thanks to presenting sponsor Northern
Tool + Equipment and live stream sponsors Twin Power, Mercer and Holland Transfer Co. During Daytona Bike Week, Sons of Speed centers around races on Saturday, March 4, with
racers competing on vintage motorcycles racing on a steeply banked track hitting speeds up to 80 mph. The race series takes inspiration from the early 20th century board track racing that
showcases pre-1950 V-twin American motors and stripped-down bikes from some of the
industry’s biggest names. The Sons of Speed race series was created to showcase vintage
motorcycles, facilitate healthy competition and expose the next generation to the history and
excitement of motorcycle racing.
Additionally, Northern Tool + Equipment is welcoming three students from Deltona’s Pine Ridge
High to New Smyrna Speedway on Friday, March 3. They will meet Sons of Speed participating
racers and work on vintage motorcycles together as part of Northern Tool + Equipment’s Tools
for the Trades™ program.
Tools for the Trades was created to help address the skilled trades labor gap by providing
schools, students, and instructors with the proper equipment for teaching the trades to the
next generation. The students selected are seniors currently enrolled in classes providing the
skills needed to pursue a career in the trades. Northern Tool + Equipment will also donate tools
and equipment to their school’s CTE program.
“As a company dedicated to supporting skilled solvers and serious DIY-ers, our partnership with
Sons of Speed was natural,” said Suresh Krishna, president & CEO of Northern Tool +
Equipment. “Welcoming the students from Pine Ridge High to the racetrack highlights the
amazing variety of professional opportunities out there for skilled trades, including welders and
fabricators.”
