On December 2, Shell and Penske unveiled their 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and IZOD IndyCar Series cars and announced that three-time Indianapolis 500® champion Helio Castroneves will drive the No. 3 Shell V-Power®-Pennzoil Ultra™ Dallara/Honda at the Indianapolis 500 in May 2011. It had previously been announced that Kurt Busch will drive the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Dodge during 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.

Helio Castroneves is known by dancing fans and racing fans alike. In 2007, Castroneves won the fifth season of the popular television show “Dancing with the Stars” with partner Julianne Hough. On the track, Castroneves will be racing for his record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 title this coming May.

The IndyCar Series, which is one of the most technologically advanced series, is a natural fit to promote Shell V-Power via branding on the car and programs to reach fans. Shell V-Power contains the highest concentration of the exclusive, patented Shell Nitrogen Enriched cleaning system. Shell V-Power is designed specifically to offer improved performance and cleanliness benefits to those drivers who want the most out of their vehicles and demand higher performance fuels for their engines.

Shell has more than a half-century of motorsports expertise and strategic alliances play very important roles. The new relationship with a winning team like Penske provides Shell with additional opportunities to further their technological leadership and product development through the invaluable knowledge gained both on and off the track.
