Posted
and last updated

Pennzoil returns to Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend to host the third annual Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube as part of the NASCAR Cup Series.

The Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube will once again headline an action-packed, triple-header motorsports weekend driven by fan activities and on-track exhilaration. The green flag will wave to commence the Pennzoil 400 on Feb, 23 at 12:30 p.m. PST.

Team Penske driver and reigning Pennzoil 400 champion, Joey Logano, will return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the Pennzoil primary paint scheme while teammate Ryan Blaney will be running in the Pennzoil co-primary paint scheme.

Both Team Penske drivers will have the cutting-edge technology of Pennzoil Synthetics, made from pure natural gas, coursing through their engines as the green flag waves for 400 high-intensity miles of racing in the desert. Pennzoil works hand-in-hand with Team Penske developing and testing premium motor oil formulations under harsh conditions in the desert as a laboratory for tomorrow’s road cars.

The relationship with Speedway Motorsports Incorporated (SMI), owner and operator of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, provides Pennzoil a stage to cultivate relationships with fans, partners and customers and put the spotlight on a shared appreciation for motorsports.

Besides the race, there will be several other activities for fans to enjoy, including:

· Driving exhibitions from professional fun-havers Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Chelsea DeNofa, Ultra4 off-road driver Loren Healy and professional stunt driver Rhys Millen

· Drifting ride-alongs with world champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Chelsea DeNofa

· Live stage with notable guests and live music from the Garage Boys Band

· Several notable show cars, including Joey Logano’s #22 Pennzoil Ford Mustang show car, a Ford GT replica and Ferrari P3 replica from the Ford v Ferrari movie, Tommy Pike Customs’ Acura NSX, Jeff Allen of Flat 12 Gallery’s one-of-a-kind V06 and more

· Photo-op moments with the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube trophy and the #22 Pennzoil Ford Mustang show car

· Autograph sessions with Team Penske and other Pennzoil Proving Grounds drivers

· Oil Change Challenge presented by Jiffy Lube with competitions for prizes

· Premium giveaways and a chance to win great prizes from the giant prize wheel

Other races before the Pennzoil race on Sunday include the Strat 200 NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race at 6 p.m. Feb. 21 and the Boyd Gaming 300 NASCAR Xfiniting Series race at 1 p.m. Feb. 22.

Single-day tickets and weekend packages are available.

Fans can also purchase passes for the Neon Garage and pit road passes. The passes will give fans the opportunity to see their favorite drivers up close from behind the glass while race teams prepare their cars, plus the best view of the victory lane each day.

A driver introduction pass will get race fans in front of the stage for all pre-race activities prior to the start of the Pennzoil 400 on Sunday. Race fans can stand on the racing surface and see all of the entertainment, presentations and VIPs on the pre-race stage. Then the drivers that make up the starting field for the NASCAR Cup Series race are introduced and walk across the stage, just a few feet from this prime location.
