Pennzoil Colors Agree With Castroneves

And we’re off and running. Please check back for more news and analysis over the next couple of days while I’m trackside.

I was able to grab Helio Castroneves after this morning’s formal press conference for a couple of comments about any added pressure driving the Pennzoil car for Team Penske. Rick Mears scored two wins and three poles in this livery in the 1980s.

“Pressure is good because it makes you better,” said the three-time race winner and four-time pole winner. “I don’t feel pressure. It’s an honor to wear those colors and want to represent well what the champions did. So far, there’s a good vibe and I really like it.”

Castroneves enters today’s Fast Friday practice session (weather does not look overly promising at this point) with the fastest lap of the week at 227.166 mph.
