  Early 1980's
 
1980
1983 Pennzoil joins forces with Roger Penske and premiere Indy car driver Rick Mears and captures victory at the Indy 500 just one year later. The Pennzoil racing dynasty continues. Over a five year period Pennzoil Cars go on to win the Indianapolis 500 four out of five times: Mears in '84 Ticketswith a record-winning speed of 163.512 mph in the Pennzoil Z-7 Special, Danny Sullivan in 1985 - the famous "spin-win". Danny proved his driving prowess to the crowd, and Pennzoil, again, proved its excellence as an engine lubricant to the racing community. Also in '85, Mears, in the Pennzoil car, sets Indy's fastest lap ever - 204.937 mph and Al Unser wins XART PPG Indy Car World Series Championship.
