The Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube is bringing the heart-pounding action back to Las Vegas Motor Speedway

The second annual Pennzoil 400 will serve as the main event for a triple-header race weekend, jam-packed with fan driven activities

Houston, TX – February 27, 2019. Pennzoil is taking over Las Vegas this March to host the second annual Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube, part of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS), at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Following the overwhelming success of last year’s inaugural race, the Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube will serve as the main event of an action-packed, triple-header motorsports weekend. The green flag for the Pennzoil 400 will wave on Sunday, March 3, 2019 at 12:30PM PST and the race will be broadcast live on FOX.

“At Pennzoil, we work closely with our motorsports partners to develop advanced motor oil innovation to help maximize engine performance and reliability. Race tracks like Las Vegas Motor Speedway become our Pennzoil proving grounds, where our favorite drivers push the limits of complex engines under extreme conditions. This provides the knowledge and insight that is used in our Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic line of motor oils with PurePlus® Technology, formulated from pure natural gas, which can help lead to better engine performance,” said Carlos Maurer, President, Shell Lubricants Americas. “Coming off the success that Team Penske and Joey Logano achieved last year with winning the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship, we at Shell and Pennzoil are thrilled to continue to push the boundaries this year at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.”

The relationship between Pennzoil and Speedway Motorsports Incorporated (SMI), owner and operator of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, allows Pennzoil to build on its already strong relationships with fans, partners and customers in Las Vegas. Joey Logano, and his rising-star teammate, Ryan Blaney, will both run the Pennzoil primary paint scheme at the race and put the cutting-edge technology of Pennzoil Synthetics on full display as they race to take the checkered flag.

“Last year’s Pennzoil 400 was the start of a great partnership with one of the most iconic brands in the history of motorsports,” said Las Vegas Motor Speedway President Chris Powell. “With revolutionary changes to the race cars, some old faces in new places and Pennzoil’s position as the reigning sponsor champion in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, this promises to be a historic and can’t-miss race weekend. We’re proud to share the stage with our friends at Shell and Pennzoil.”
