In spite of the promise of rain, 409 Snap-On Tools customers entered the four race classes in the 2004 edition of the Snap-On Tools Customer Appreciation Day at the Races. 230 of the entries were in Trophy Street class. Track manager Craig Armstrong commented, "she's real fine, my 409" when he saw the car count. The majority of racers and spectators enjoyed the day, watching racing, talking with their dealers in the hospitality areas or walking around the vendor's midway, which featured a lot of Snap-On tool displays. Taz Pines was the first winner of the day, winning the Burnout Contest with his diminutive Dodge D50 pickup. All race winners received the beautiful Snap-On Tools Lock 'n Roll Corvette edition toolbox, and the runner ups took home a Snap-On Tools pop up canopy. Snap-On Tools dealer Marty Wiles commented, "Other than the Southern Nationals, this is probably the biggest event at this race track." Snap-On Tools Day at the Races has definitely increased in popularity with its customers.

On the vendor's midway, spectators were treated to a display featuring the immaculate Orange County Choppers built Snap-On chopper, otherwise known as "The Chopper". For a small fee, people were allowed to have their pictures taken with the bike. The Snap-On Tools Lock 'n Roll Corvette edition toolboxes for the race winners were on display in the same area. Rockdale Cycles had a display in another area of the midway, where they were raffling off a 1985 Harle
