SKF Offers Heavy-Duty Pit Crew Program

SKF recently introduced the 2007 season of its Heavy-Duty Pit Crew Program, a training program designed exclusively for heavy-duty fleet technicians. The Heavy Duty Pit Crew Program provides heavy-duty fleet technicians

with the industry's latest technical tips, failure analysis data and product information through periodic newsletters, product self-study guides and graphically detailed technical manuals.
SKF Heavy-Duty Pit Crew members also receive exclusive access to the program's on-line community, where they have 24-hour access to downloadable reference materials and technical data. Also, a periodic E-newsletter is distributed to provide members with even more access to the program's information.
"Each year, the Heavy Duty Pit Crew program has drawn a larger response across the country," said Per Jacobsson, director of marketing communications for SKF. "Our continued research and development efforts with our aftermarket and OE partners, along with our technical relationship with Richard Childress Racing has helped the program evolve into a complete technical resource for our fleet customers."
Additionally, each member of the Heavy Duty Pit Crew program automatically is entered in to a grand prize drawing for a chance to become an Honorary Pit Crew member for the No. 31, No. 29 or No. 07 Richard Childress Racing NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Team. (See www.vsm.skf.com for complete rules and regulations.) The grand prize winner will serve as an Honorary Pit Crew member for the RCR team of its choice during the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup event on Oct. 13, 2007 in Charlotte, N.C.
The SKF Heavy-Duty Pit Crew Program offers technicians the latest technical information on SKF's full line of heavy-duty products, including Brakemaster Air Dryers, Scotseal wheel seals, heavy-duty tensioners and wheel end systems.
