Motorsports Events - Honda Dealers Add Support To Houston Event

Houston, Jan. 13, 2013: The Greater Houston Honda Dealers Association, a group of 14 local dealers, will serve as the presenting sponsor of the Shell and Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston through 2016.

The Oct. 4-6 event on a 1.7-mile, 10-turn street circuit at Reliant Park will be the third doubleheader race weekend of the season for the IZOD IndyCar Series and serve as the lead-in to the championship finale Oct. 19.

"We are delighted to welcome the Greater Houston Honda Dealers as the presenting sponsor of the Shell and Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston," GP general manager Chuck Kosich said. "Renaming the event the 'Shell and Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston Presented by the Greater Houston Honda Dealers' has so much significance for us — not only because of Honda's rich history with IndyCar, but because of the enthusiasm the local dealers have for the Grand Prix."
