Tire Rack is excited to further our partnership with Team Penske as primary sponsor of the No. 2 TireRack.com Chevrolet, driven by two-time Indianapolis 500 Champion Josef Newgarden, in the Grand Prix of Portland.

The race will be held on August 25th at Portland International Raceway, a 12-turn, 1.964-mile natural road course just north of downtown. Tune in on Sunday at 3:00 pm EDT to cheer on Josef as we go for victory together!

Led by the "Captain" Roger Penske, Team Penske is one of the most successful teams in the history of professional sports. Cars owned and prepared by Team Penske have produced over 630 major race wins, over 690 pole positions, and 44 championships across open-wheel, stock car, and sports car racing competitions.

In the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, Tire Rack proudly sponsors the #2, driven by Josef Newgarden, and the #3, driven by Scott McLaughlin. In 2023 & 2024, Tire Rack celebrated Team Penske's 20th- and second consecutive - Indianapolis 500 victory as the sponsor of the winning driver, Josef Newgarden. Team Penske's passion, determination, and domination make this partnership a winning combination.
