Monro, Yokohama, AutoZone and ALLDATA will be sponsoring the 2023 U.S. Auto Tech National Championship (USATNC), according to a press release.

All four companies have signed agreements for the 2023 season with the Elite Trades Championship Series and Intersport. Yokohama will be acting as a presenting sponsor for the event.

The first round of USATNC concluded on July 31, which consisted of registered participants taking a five-minute digital quiz testing their total knowledge of vehicles. 

There are two categories–professionals and students–and those who rank in the top 64 in each category will go to the next round, where they must answer questions composed by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). Afterward, they will have an at-home kit challenge to perform as well.

The top four finalists in both categories will then receive a paid trip to Tampa, Florida to compete in the championship, as well as receiving a VIP prize package from sponsors.
