Pennzoil Presents: The Club features a one-of-a-kind interview with A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr., Rick Mears, and Helio Castroneves, all INDYCAR drivers who have cemented their names in history books as the only four drivers to win the iconic Indy 500 four times. The documentary is a special look into what it means to win ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing’ a remarkable four times. The film includes iconic footage from their victories, as well as additional interviews with Roger Penske, veteran motorsports writer Curt Cavin, and more.
At Pennzoil, we are proud to have helped this film come together and to be the Official Motor Oil of INDYCAR. Rick Mears was the first to win the INDY500 in Pennzoil’s famous Yellow Submarine, a car that is now iconic and synonymous with excellence on the track.
The highly efficient and powerful engine technology used in INDYCAR has presented Pennzoil with an opportunity to innovate and prove that our made-from-natural gas motor oils can help make a difference on the track. The extreme stress put on an INDYCAR engine provides the optimal testbed for modern motor oils such as Pennzoil Synthetics.
Pennzoil Presents: The Club will air at 2:00PM EST on NBC on Saturday, May 14th (check your local listings). After it airs on NBC, the documentary will become available to stream on NBC’s platform Peacock.
