Must have accessories and tools for your shop, trailer and more!

A lot of work happens in the offseason, having everything organized and the right tools to do the job gets you off on the right foot for next year

During the offseason or during the week, having a well-equipped and organized shop is important to getting you on track for race night. Speedway Motors has the tools and storage solutions to make this your work time productive and ready for for the next night of action.

Aluminum Storage Cabinet

Our trailer door cabinets mount easily to trailer, pit cart or shop walls to provide an easy storage solution for chemicals, parts and towels

Our Standard Trailer Door Cabinet is a versatile and essential addition to any race car trailer. Constructed from durable aluminum, this cabinet offers a lightweight storage solution for organizing your tools, chemicals and small parts. Its design includes multiple shelves and a fold-down work surface. These organizers mount anywhere in your trailer or on your shop walls with your choice of fasteners. Also available in a junior size for mounting on interior cabinet doors or tight spaces.

Two-Point Engine Lift with Nylon Straps

This engine lift with Nylon straps attaches to the exhaust studs or cover plates to allow you to pull the engine without having to take off the intake or injection box

Whether it's on a race night, during the week or at the end of the season, that engine is coming out sometime. Make engine swaps faster and safer with this 2-point engine lift. Featuring a powder-coated steel bracket and durable nylon straps, it’s designed for ultimate adjustability and reliability, with a 1,200-pound lifting capacity, which handles any race engine. The multiple mounting holes and adjustable straps (17.5"–25.25") provide perfect clearance for large induction systems so there's no need to remove airboxes and air cleaners like a chain lift and make it compatible with most engines. Side mounting via 3/8-inch exhaust studs or bolts reduces damage and hassle compared to traditional lift plates. The Nylon straps won't scratch down tubes or interior tubing like a traditional chain, and make the storage easy and portable. Built for durability and ease, it’s the perfect tool for race car maintenance or project builds. We also carry a 4-point engine lift for added stability.

Steel Tire Racks

Our steel tire racks are adjustable to fit a variety of diameters, and keep your tires organized and ready.

One of the first upgrades to any new trailer is a place to store tires and wheels. Stacking on the floor, or the pickup bed takes up valuable space. We have a sturdy solution that's assembles quick and bolts up easy. Our 4-foot Tire Rack works in your trailer, or garage to get the tires off the ground. Made with 12 gauge steel wall plates and 14-gauge wall steel support tubes, they are adjustable to fit tire diameters from 23 inches to 32 inches, suitable for hobby stocks, modifieds, late models and sprint cars. A 400 pound capacity (determined by the mounting surface) is suitable for steel and aluminum wheels. Need to hold more tires? We have a tire rack extension rack with the same durable steel construction.

Aluminum Folding Work Table

This Aluminum folding work table is a great solution for when you need that extra little bit of workspace, but folds away easily when you don't need it

Speedway's Folding Work Table is the answer for anyone who's wished for a flat space to set down what you're working on when you needed it. The front of the toolbox is too small, the top of the trailer wheel well is too low, or the space above the interior cabinets are covered in storage. This table gives you 4 square feet of workspace and supports up to 50 pounds when you need it while only protruding 4" from the wall when folded up. And, it features spring loaded locks so it stays closed until you need it. Handy small tool storage is built in and has a 360 degree upturned lip to keep small parts from falling off. And a neat feature is the 4 slotted mounting holes, so the entire assembly (with tools) can be moved to where you need it, say a tight space for storage and a more accessible place on race night. It's great in the shop too, where another workbench would take up too much space on a regular basis.

Pneumatic Pop Rivet Air Riveter

Save your hands with this economical air riveter. Takes 3/16", 5/32", 1/8" and 3/32" Rivets.

Your traditional hand-held pop rivet tools are fine for a quick repair, but when you're attaching a set of body panels, or repairing wings your hands start to feel it - quick. And if you are using steel or exploding rivets, some kind of power riveter is a must. Save your hands and finish the job faster with this Pneumatic Air Riveter. Takes 3/16", 5/32", 1/8" and 3/32" pop rivets.

Utility Jug Holders

Utility jug holders keep jugs upright and prevent spills.

Utility jug holders keep your square or round jugs secure as they travel down the road, and keep them out of the way on race night. No need to worry about spilling over or sliding around. Thick .080" aluminum is rust-resistant and is 12" deep. Choose 2-4 jug capacity.

Cordless Drill / Small Impact Holder

The popularity of cordless tools means there's a tool for about every job, but their size makes them impractical for many toolboxes. These aluminum holders mount to the wall for easy access.

Modern battery powered tools have come a long way and there's a tool for about any job. Cordless drills are the norm now, and cordless impacts make wheel mounting quick and easy. But these tools are bulky and may not fit in your toolbox designed for small hand tools, and they're heavy. Cheap hooks won't hold up a quality tool with its battery. This Aluminum Cordless Drill / Small Impact Holder is perfect for keeping your cordless tools ready and securely mounted. Works great for hammers too!

Ranger 1-1/2 Ton Aluminum Racing Quick Jack

This lightweight aluminum quick jack is easy to transport and raises up 17.5 in just 3 pumps for quick lifting when repairs need to be quick

When you're at the races, sometimes that pit stop or repair needs to happen quickly. And, you may have to lug that jack from the trailer to the work area. The Ranger RFJ-3000AL Aluminum Quick Jack is great for those who need speed and precision. Designed with aircraft-grade aluminum, this feather-light 41-lb. floor jack delivers a 3,000-lb. lifting capacity and raises vehicles up to 17.5 inches in just 3.5 quick pumps. It has handles for easy carry without having to roll the jack by the handle. Its low 3.5-inch profile makes it perfect for low-clearance race cars, while the ergonomic knurled handle provides a sure grip in stressful situations for raising and lowering the car.

Wall Mount Aluminum Floor Jack Holder

A wall mount floor jack holder frees up space on the floor, and keeps your jack secure.

One tool that can take up a fair amount of space is the floor jack. Speedway Motors's Wall Mount Aluminum Floor Jack Holder is a versatile storage solution for your floor jack, featuring a two-piece design to accommodate any length of jack and supports single or dual front wheels. Made from durable aluminum, this holder securely mounts your jack to the wall, freeing up floor space and ensuring stability during transport. Its practical design allows for easy access and quick storage, making it an essential accessory for maintaining an organized and efficient workspace. However, if you want to keep the jack on the floor but want to keep it from sliding around, ditch the bungee cord and check out our floor mount jack holder.

Aerosol Spray Can Holders

The spray can shelf is a great place to stash your various cleaners, lubes and other fluids for easy-to-find access.

The Aerosol Spray Can Holder is a no-brainer when it comes to organization. How many times have you wondered where the can of brake cleaner or WD-40 is when you need it? Keep everything organized and at the ready. The cutouts keep cans upright and in place preventing tipovers. Works great in the garage too! We have 2 and 6 can varieties available, both in durable yet lightweight aluminum.

Compact 5-Gallon Parts Washer

Our 5 gallon parts washer gives a deep clean, without the space and expense of a stand-alone parts washing station

Engine parts, metal filters, bearings and other parts covered in grease need a washing an spray-can cleaner can't handle and only a solvent-based cleaner can give. Problem is, a stand-alone parts washer takes space and your garage may not have the square footage. We have a perfect and economical solution. Our 5 gallon parts washer can be placed on a work table and includes an electric pump and works with any water based solvent. It's made of durable 16-gauge steel and closes up and stores away when you don't need it. Get a complete clean without the space and expense of a dedicated parts washer.

Wall Mount Jack Stand Holders

Jack stands are a necessity for holding up a vehicle, but take a lot of space in storage. These wall mount stand free up floor space.

Nothing is safer than holding a car up with jack stands, but where do you put those things when you're not using them? They take up a ton of floor space, so we decided to get those off the ground with our Wall Mounted Jack Stand Holders. Mount them inline or parallel, they're lightweight, yet strong and are rust resistant.

Racing Jack Stands

These racing jack stands raise your car 12" and feature a wide base that minimizes sinking on hot asphalt or soft surfaces

Standard jack stands work great when holding a car up on a hard surface. Do you need a reliable solution for vehicle repairs or storage on soft surfaces like dirt or gravel? These fixed-height racing jack stands feature a wide, stable base (142 sq. in.) that supports up to 3,000 lbs per stand. Perfect for hot asphalt, dirt, or gravel, they’re a must-have for trackside pit work or garage projects. With a 12-inch fixed height and a sturdy 2-inch-wide crossbar, they’re ideal for tire, suspension, and brake work. Made from heavy-duty welded steel with no moving parts, they’re safer and more durable than traditional adjustable stands.

Trailer Organization Tips

Don't forget the little stuff! Bolts, nuts, small tools, gauges, lights and other tools don't belong in a random pile. Speedway Motors has storage boxes, tire gauge and flashlight holders and tons of other trailer organizer solutions for your trailer or shop.
