Kluever will also drive at Chicagoland, Michigan International Speedway, Fontana, Kansas Speedway, Lowe's Motor Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway

"I really appreciate Pennzoil's support by sponsoring me in the Cup race at Texas this fall," Kluever said. "Being a Texas-based company it seems to be a perfect fit for them and another great learning experience for me. I hope to carry over the success my teammates have had in the Pennzoil Platinum car in the Busch Series over to Nextel Cup."

"Pennzoil has been a great sponsor of Roush Racing for several years now and I am pleased that they have extended their support to include a one-race primary sponsorship for Todd Kluever at Texas to help him prepare for next year," said Jack Roush. "We've had a lot of success at Texas Motor Speedway over the past 10 years and I don't think they could have picked a better place to have Todd help promote their product."
