Pennzoil and Roush Racing will team up for nine events in the Busch series in 2005. Seven of the races will feature the all-time winningest driver in series’ history, Mark Martin, while 2003 Cup Champion Matt Kenseth will drive the #9 car in the other two events. “We are looking forward to getting back on the track in the No. 9 Pennzoil car,” said Martin. “We had a couple of pretty strong runs in the No. 9 last year and hopefully we can get Pennzoil in victory lane this season. I’m pretty excited that we’ll be working with Pat Tryson and an all new team on the No. 9 car so hopefully we’ll be able to make some more noise in that series.” Martin will be a the helm of the #9 Pennzoil Ford for events at Fontana, Las Vegas, Texas, Richmond, Loudon, Kansas City and Homestead. Kenseth will drive the car at Charlotte and Texas in October and November. Pennzoil and Roush have a deep rooted history. Pennzoil first sponsored Jack Roush in the 1960’s, when the former Ford Motor Company engineer was a driver himself. This season Pennzoil is proud to once again team up with Jack Roush as sponsor of all five 2005 Roush Racing Nextel Cup teams as well as the #9 NASCAR Busch Series Team.
