New for the 2011 season, Shell, Pennzoil and Penske Corporation announced a multi-year, cross-business alliance.  The relationship provides Pennzoil with the ability to test existing and new motor oil technology to gain insights from the track that can be translated directly into the formulation of its consumer motor oils. As leaders in fuel and lubricant technology, the alliance allows Shell and Pennzoil to expand their motorsports presence to include primary sponsorship of multiple drivers, including Busch and the No. 22 Dodge.

The 2011 NASCAR racing season will run through November 20, which means Shell Saver Card holders still have an additional 20 chances for savings on "WINsdays" with Kurt!  Fans and card holders can also track Kurt's standings at www.shell.us/racing.

About the Shell Saver Card

The Shell Saver Card is a non-credit payment product exclusive to Shell that acts like a debit card by linking directly to cardholders' checking accounts and offers savings at the pump. The Shell Saver Card earnings apply only to gasoline and diesel purchases and can be used for any purchases at Shell-branded stations, except lottery tickets. Through Telecheck® and the use of personal PIN numbers, the Shell Saver Card offers safety mechanisms that enhance consumer security.
