MT. PROSPECT, Ill. – January 7, 2014 — Beginning this month, Dremel and Lowe's will once again team up to offer a series of in-store clinics to help families build the ultimate pinewood racecar. During select Saturdays in January and February, pinewood racers can learn about the best tools and design techniques to build a fast pinewood car at the annual Dremel and Lowe's Pinewood Derby Days clinics.

Pinewood Derby races are an annual racing event for many schools, groups and organizations. Dremel and Lowe's have partnered to provide an annual Derby Days racing event since 2004.

This year's clinics will be held on Jan. 11, Jan. 18, Jan. 25, Feb. 1 and Feb. 15 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at all Lowe's locations nationwide. Customers are encouraged to call their local stores to confirm the date and time of the clinics. In addition to gaining new knowledge of car design tips and tricks, clinic participants will receive an official race badge patch and a coupon for 10 percent off their entire purchase when they buy any Dremel tools, accessories and attachments.

"The Pinewood Derby is a great opportunity for families to come together in a hands-on project," said Andrea Ash, vice president of marketing, Dremel. "For nearly a decade, our Pinewood Derby Days clinics have helped racers design and build amazing, one-of-a-kind racecars, and we can't wait to see what our fans create this year."

Once they've built their car, race fans are invited to visit Facebook.com/Dremel where they can enter their final Pinewood Derby Days car design from Jan. 7 through Feb. 22 for a chance to win the Dremel Ultimate Derby Crew prize pack and be named the new Dremel and Lowe's Pinewood Derby Days champion.
