Quigley Named America's Top Tradesman
Bruce Quigley of Clarkston, Mich., was named America's Top Tradesman by winning the IRWIN Ultimate Tradesman Challenge at the National Championship event in Phoenix on Nov. 11, 2007, with a total time of 20.40. Quigley won a new 2007 Ford F-150 pickup truck customized by Roush Performance and a dream barbeque with Jamie McMurray and the #26 IRWIN race team at his home. The contestants had to measure, mark and drill a piece of lumber, using IRWIN tools, in only seconds.
Quigley defeated finalists Marc Williams of Seattle and Zach Snider of Charlottesville, Va., for the title. Williams and Snider came in second and third places, respectively.
By winning the timed challenge, Quigley had the opportunity to select from 26 IRWIN tool bags, one of which had the ultimate prize of $1.26 million. Quigley selected a bag containing $20,000.
The America's Top Tradesman promotion is tied to IRWIN's sponsorship of McMurray in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series. Seventy-five million adult NASCAR fans live in the United States, and 27 percent of them earn a living by using tools on the job.
