CASTROL GTX RACING HOMECOMING AT NAZARETH SPEEDWAY: Nashville Speedway USA is usually thought of as the home track of Casey Atwood and the Castrol GTX Racing team but they also consider Nazareth Speedway a home track. The one mile oval, the site of Sunday's Econo Lodge 200 NASCAR Busch Series race, is located less than 75 miles from the corporate headquarters of Castrol the team's primary sponsor, in Wayne, NJ..

"We had a pretty good run in Nashville, the team's home track, now we are looking to have a good run in Castrol's backyard," said Atwood, driver of the No. 27 Castrol GTX Chevrolet Monte Carlo. "Last year, we got caught up in a wreck and didn't finish too good. This year is going to be different."

Established in North America in 1954, Castrol has built a solid record of technical achievement and marketplace success, a devoted customer base as well as a leading share of the Do-It-Yourself' market in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Motorists know that Castrol GTX is a superior motor oil that can always be relied upon, because it has long set the standard for performance in automotive lubricants. Whatever the consumer need, Castrol's innovative technology is there to meet it.
