Indianapolis, Indiana – One of the most recognizable weekends in American motorsports has gained a new partner. Take 5 Oil Change has been named the presenting sponsor of the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Pennzoil 250 at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The race will now carry the official title Pennzoil 250 presented by Take 5 Oil Change and is set for Saturday, July 25. The event is part of the highly anticipated Brickyard Weekend, a three-day celebration of speed that will also feature the NASCAR Cup Series Brickyard 400 presented by PPG on Sunday, July 26. Practice and qualifying sessions for both series are scheduled for Friday, July 24, setting the stage for a packed weekend at IMS.
For fans, Saturday promises wall-to-wall action.
“The Saturday of Brickyard Weekend provides fans with a lot of racing in a single day at IMS,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “From qualifying for both the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and Cup Series and then the Pennzoil 250 presented by Take 5 Oil Change, it’s an action-packed day. The addition of Take 5 Oil Change, a brand that delivers high-quality service in a short amount of time, is a perfect partner for this exciting day of on-track activity.”
The partnership aligns naturally with the fast-paced culture of racing. Take 5 Oil Change has built its reputation around efficiency and convenience — two qualities that mirror the precision demanded on the track.
“Racing is about eliminating wasted seconds, and so are we,” said Doug Zarkin, chief marketing officer of Take 5 Oil Change. “Partnering with IMS during Brickyard Weekend puts us in the heart of a culture that values speed, trust and performance – exactly how our customers experience Take 5 every time they stay in their cars and drive out ready for what’s next.”
Take 5 Oil Change operates on a simple but effective model. Customers remain in their vehicles while trained technicians perform a full-service oil change in approximately 10 minutes. The process is designed to be quick without sacrificing quality. Each visit includes complimentary tire pressure checks, fluid top-offs, and even bottled water for customers while they wait.
That streamlined, customer-first approach has helped fuel rapid growth. The company now operates nearly 1,300 locations nationwide, serving drivers who value both time and reliability. By partnering with one of the most historic venues in motorsports, Take 5 further strengthens its connection to performance-driven audiences.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, often referred to simply as IMS, is synonymous with racing history. While the Indianapolis 500 may be its most famous event, Brickyard Weekend has carved out its own strong following, bringing NASCAR fans to the iconic oval for a full schedule of competition and qualifying sessions.
Saturday’s lineup offers fans the rare opportunity to see qualifying runs for both major NASCAR series followed by the Pennzoil 250, creating a continuous stretch of high-energy competition. Sunday then shifts focus to the Brickyard 400, one of the marquee races on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar.

The addition of a presenting sponsor adds another layer of visibility and excitement to the Pennzoil 250. Sponsorships at this level often extend beyond branding, creating interactive experiences for fans and deeper engagement throughout race weekend.
For Take 5 Oil Change, the move places its brand in front of thousands of fans at the track and many more watching from around the country. The company’s emphasis on speed and simplicity fits seamlessly into a sport where fractions of a second can determine victory or defeat.
Brickyard Weekend runs July 24 through July 26, offering three days packed with practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and two major NASCAR races.
