Remarkably, this marks the 36th year of the two leading organisations working together, making it one of the longest-tenured partnerships in all of motorsports. Throughout the 2020 season, this will see PPG serve as primary Team Penske sponsor for numerous races in the NASCAR Cup Series, the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NTT IndyCar Series.
“It doesn’t get more exciting than being involved with a group like Team Penske,” said Bill Shaw, PPG Director, Marketing and Strategic Sales, Automotive Refinish. “Each year, we look forward to sponsoring the great races and dynamic drivers. There’s also a fair amount of pride knowing that Team Penske is sporting PPG paint colours.”
It was way back in 1984 when PPG began providing paint for Team Penske cars and the relationship has flourished ever since. Today, PPG is the largest supplier of refinish coatings for Penske Corporation’s racing, truck leasing and automotive collision repair subsidiaries. The durable partnership on and off the track demonstrates a shared commitment to success.
“We are proud of our long-time partnership with PPG,” said Roger Penske, founder and Chairman, Penske Corporation. “Together, we have built a relationship that is mutually beneficial and truly adds value for both companies. No one would have known 36 years ago when we began working with PPG that we would build one of the longest and strongest partnerships in motorsports. Our bond has grown to extend beyond just racing to our Penske businesses and across many marketing platforms.”
