"I really appreciate Pennzoil's support by sponsoring me in the Cup race at Texas this fall," Kluever said. "Being a Texas-based company it seems to be a perfect fit for them and another great learning experience for me. I hope to carry over the success my teammates have had in the Pennzoil Platinum car in the Busch Series over to Nextel Cup."

"Pennzoil has been a great sponsor of Roush Racing for several years now and I am pleased that they have extended their support to include a one-race primary sponsorship for Todd Kluever at Texas to help him prepare for next year," said Jack Roush. "We've had a lot of success at Texas Motor Speedway over the past 10 years and I don't think they could have picked a better place to have Todd help promote their product."
