The initiative encourages every member to send a new letter to their legislator, demanding swift action on Right to Repair legislation. The challenge is designed to amplify the voices of consumers and industry professionals alike, ensuring that their message reaches the halls of Congress. As part of the challenge, participants are asked not only to urge their legislators to pass H.R. 906, “The REPAIR Act,” but also to spread the word by tagging three colleagues, friends or industry peers on social media, urging them to do the same.
Here’s how to participate in the #RighttoRepair, RIGHT NOW challenge in three steps:
Send a New Letter: Visit repairact.com to send our updated letter to your legislator. Take a Selfie: Take a selfie featuring a message that you took action. Post about your action on social media, using the hashtag #RighttoRepair. Tag More People: Challenge three others to do the same by tagging them directly in your post. “As summer comes to a close and Congress picks back up from its August recess, it is now a critical moment for us to make as much noise as possible on the right to repair issue to capture the attention of our elected officials,” said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO,

I deeply appreciate the experience and I am proud to be the 2024 Technician of the Year Champion. The support from Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper has been incredible. I want to thank NPW and our sales rep, Hoss Prestwich, for encouraging me to compete,” said Breneman.

The opportunity for our team to interact with top technicians from the certified service center network while representing our Champion, Fel-Pro, Moog, Monroe, Walker, Wagner and Garage Gurus brands is special,” said Mike Hinderer, technical product specialist field manager with Garage Gurus. “To the professional technicians in the industry, we are here, we see you and we support you.”

When diagnosing engine performance complaints such as misfire symptoms, be advised that several systems and components can contribute to those symptoms. When considering single or multiple misfire codes, some checks may seem farfetched but trust me if not all are considered the symptoms can elude the most experienced technician, resulting in a misdiagnosis.

Brad Sweet and the
link hidden, please login to view No. 49 team of Kasey Kahne Racing ventured to Golden Isles Speedway in Waynesville, Georgia, and were met with a challenging weekend of racing. The Deuces Wild event, which featured both the High Limit Racing series and the Lucas Oil Late Model Series, marked the first-ever 410 sprint car races for the track renowned for late model racing.
On the first night of competition, Sweet started strong with a fifth-place qualifying effort at a time of 12.992 seconds. After a close, nose-to-nose start in his heat race, the NAPA driver challenged for the lead but came up just short, clinching a second-place finish. From there, the Big Cat transferred directly to the evening’s feature. The five-time World of Outlaws champion climbed from eighth to sixth, demonstrating his ability to navigate through a tricky field in dirty air.
The NAPA Auto Parts No. 49 team continued their momentum into the second night of the Deuces Wild, impressing spectators with a fourth-place qualifying run at 13.058 seconds. Sweet held his ground in his heat race, finishing second and securing a solid starting position for the evening’s feature. Despite the intense competition, the NAPA driver showcased his resilience, advancing from seventh to sixth in the main event.
The strong performance at Golden Isles puts Sweet and the NAPA team second in the points standings with 225 points, just 18 points shy of High Limit Racing points leader Tyler Courtney. The Kasey Kahne Racing team will take the month of March off from competition to prepare for the remainder of the season before heading to Arkansas and Texas in April.
Start / Finish:
Thursday, Feb. 22: 8 / 6
Saturday, Feb. 24: 7 / 6
Points Standing / Total: 225 pts. / 2nd (-18)
