PPG has been named the entitlement sponsor for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES race on Sunday, April 2 at Texas Motor Speedway. The 250-lap race will be known as the PPG 375.
PPG will serve as the primary entitlement sponsor for the oval race that delivered last season’s closest finish in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. Josef Newgarden passed Team Penske teammate Scott McLaughlin in the final turn and won by .0669 of a second.
“Texas Motor Speedway is proud to welcome PPG to our family of race entitlement partners,” said Texas Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager Mark Faber. “The speedway has utilized PPG products for years to paint the many race and series logos on the front straightaway’s grass ballfield, as well as many other areas throughout the facility. We look forward to bringing our race fans another exciting and action-filled weekend of NTT INDYCAR SERIES competition.”
The PPG 375 will be the second race of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season and first of five ovals on the 17-event schedule. The partnership will provide PPG with significant brand visibility, an opportunity to engage with a very loyal fan base and the ability to leverage the event weekend with employees, vendor partners, customers and other key stakeholders.
“PPG is proud to serve as the primary entitlement sponsor at the NTT INDYCAR SERIES race at Texas Motor Speedway,” said Bryan Iams, PPG chief communications officer. “Our paints, coatings and specialty materials have a long history with racing, including our valued nearly 40-year partnership with Team Penske.”
Tickets for the PPG 375 are available here. The race also will be broadcast live at noon ET Sunday, April 2 on NBC, Peacock and the INDYCAR Radio Network.
