Atchison signs Ringers Gloves

Atchison Racing and Ringers Gloves reunite for 2006!

London, Ontario, February 22, 2006 “3 Straight” IHRA Funny Car Champion Rob Atchison is pleased to announce the return of Ringers Gloves as a product sponsor to Atchison Racing Monte Carlos for 2006. “Ringers Gloves are the very best in hand protection for both the driver and the crew,” stated Atchison. “Far too many people forget to protect their most important tools that they have which are their hands. Ringers Gloves are the glove of choice by Fire and Rescue, Law Enforcement, Military and Industry professionals where safety and hand protection is a must. Their Nitro X Drivers gloves with four layers of CarbonX protection are what I want on my hands. Their new “RDigs” are the ultimate crew shoe designed for comfort and support the crew needs for the long hard days on their feet.”

The founder of Ringers Gloves Kenny Dolenak had a vision and that vision was: a glove to fit the special needs of a mechanic. Dolenak’s thoughts came from his own personal experiences in his life. As a former diesel mechanic, Dolenak lost the use and feeling of his right arm in an accident in 1987. Preserving the protection of his good arm was a huge concern.

One day, after 32 months of full capular palsy, Dolenak regained feeling in the arm he originally lost the use of, but the thought of protecting his hands, as well as his arms, on an everyday basis never escaped his mind. In 1992, Dolenak invented a glove to fit the special needs of mechanics. His dream of hand protection became a reality when he founded Ringers Gloves in 1996. Since the conception of Ringers Gloves, Dolenak and all his employees stand by his work and firmly believes in his motto, "Designed by Mechanics for Mechanics."

“Ringers Gloves is proud to be associated with IHRA Funny Car Champion Rob Atchison and his Crew,” stated Ringers Gloves Public Relations Manager, Mindy Stephens. “It has been great being involved with the Atchison Racing Team and watching them evolve into champions.”
