Mayhew Steel Products, Inc. (Mayhew Tools) Mayhew Steel Products, Inc. (Mayhew Tools) announces their sponsorship of Doug Coby and the #10 car, in the 37th season of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.

This will be Mayhew’s 5th consecutive year sponsoring the Whelen Modified Tour six-time champion driver, and Coby’s second year racing as owner and driver of the Doug Coby Racing team. Following a disrupted 2020 season due to repercussions from Covid-19, the 2021 season is hoping to see a return of spectators in the stands as it visits a mix of tracks from traditional speedways to inaugural venues spanning from Maine to Virginia.

“Our company is thrilled to be continuing our sponsorship with Doug Coby who, from our perspective, has really become an integral part of the Mayhew family,” commented John Lawless, President, Mayhew Tools. “This partnership extends from Doug, to the crew, and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour at-large and it is one that we are very proud to be a part of.”

In addition to sponsoring Coby, this will be the third consecutive year Mayhew will sponsor the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour’s Pole Award. This sponsorship awards the winning driver a one-thousand-dollar check and the crew chief of the winning driver a Mayhew Dominator® heavy-duty curved pry bar, dubbed ‘The Big Stick’ as it is 13 lbs and 54” in overall length that allows for the ability to deliver tremendous force. Mayhew is also sponsoring the SGB Racing Team in the 2021 Pro Motocross Nationals as well as a few select rounds of the 2021 AMA Supercross.

“Mayhew truly is a partner. Their sponsorship goes well beyond writing a check and displaying a logo; they are fully committed to supporting me, the team, the crew, and the series as whole,” shared Doug Coby, owner and driver, Doug Coby Racing. “Coming into year two with Doug Coby Racing, especially after such a shaken-up season last year, I am very eager and excited to get back out on the track and am confident that with the backing from Mayhew, Doug Coby Racing will continue to elevate.”

Mayhew Tools started to seed racing sponsorships in 2016 when they signed on as associate sponsor to the Bob Garbarino owned, Mystic Missile NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour team. The following year, the opportunity arose to sign on as primary sponsor to Doug Coby’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour team and they haven’t looked back since. Racing sponsorships constitute a key component to Mayhew Tools marketing strategy, helping them get their various lines of strong and reliable tools into the hands of automotive professionals who are immersed in the racing industry.

The 2021 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule will consist of 14 races, with opening day slated for April 8, at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. The complete season schedule is:
