David Elliott lands new sponsor for 2008

ACTON (September 18, 2007) - When the green flag drops on the 2008 racing season, David Elliott will be piloting the #37 Pennzoil Chevrolet at tracks across Southern Ontario. "We are very proud to have Pennzoil as a part of the Elliott Racing Team," said David Elliott, Champion of the 2006 Weekend Warrior Series and 2006 Flamboro Speedway Late Model Division.

"Pennzoil has a long history of being associated with championship-calibre teams in all forms of racing," said Mark Reed, Canadian Marketing Manager of Pennzoil. "By sponsoring the Elliott Racing Team, we are continuing that tradition and look forward to capturing more wins and championships with David."

The team is still finalizing its schedule for the 2008 season, but David plans to run at a number of tracks which he was not able to visit during the 2007 season. "After winning the 2006 WWS title, we decided to stick closer to home in 2007 and focused on Flamboro Speedway," said Elliott. "Next season I want to travel a bit more and plan to run the Pennzoil Chevrolet at more tracks, including Sauble Speedway, Kawartha, Delaware and at Flamboro."

In addition to the new sponsor, David will also have a new team mate in 2008 as his father, Gary, and his #36 Quaker State team will join forces with the #37 team. "I have been fortunate to have a 35-year relationship with Quaker State," said Gary. "It is very exciting that I will be teaming up with my son for 2008, but it is even more exciting that we will both be sponsored by the Pennzoil-Quaker State Company."

With a new sponsor and a new two-car team, fans across Southern Ontario will be sure to see the Elliott Racing Team contending for wins at their local tracks.
