Sonic Tools, a leading provider of professional-grade tool solutions and equipment, is thrilled to announce the renewal of a long-term partnership with the iconic Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti (WTRAndretti) Championship Winning IMSA team for the 2024 and 2025 seasons. The multi-year agreement will see WTRAndretti completely outfitted with Sonic hand tools and storage solutions in the paddock as well as the team’s race shop in Brownsburg, Indiana.
Combining unparalleled efficiency and design, Sonic intends to set the pace within the hand tool and storage system industry. With a proven track record of success in global markets and a European heritage of precision craftsmanship, the brand’s competitive edge begins with the innovative Sonic Foam System (SFS).
