HOUSTON, TX – Pennzoil will be visiting the birthplace of the Jeep to serve as a premier sponsor of the 2015 Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival from June 12 – 14 in Butler County, PA. In celebration of the 75th birthday of the world’s original Jeep, the Bantam Jeep, Pennzoil is co-sponsoring the Jeep Parade/Invasion, where a Guinness World Record will be attempted for the longest Jeep parade. Pennzoil is also co-sponsoring the Mystery Road Rally adventure and will be onsite at the Festival treating registered attendees to the ‘Make the Switch Oil Giveaway.’
“As the only motor oil recommended by the Jeep Brand in North America, it was natural for Pennzoil to be a part of this celebrated event. Our sponsorship reinforces the joint commitment to performance that is the foundation of the Jeep and Pennzoil relationship,” said Doug Kooyman, Pennzoil Global Brand Director.
This year, the parade is aiming to break the Guinness World Record of 1,846 participants for the largest parade of Jeeps, returning the record to Butler where it was previously held from 2011 through April 2015. On Friday, June 12, it is anticipated that over 2,500 Jeeps will participate in the three-mile parade, concluding with the Jeep Invasion street party, where 1,200 Jeeps will park on Main Street, Butler. The parade – co-sponsored by Pennzoil – is expected to bring in more than 20,000 spectators to stroll down Main Street, witnessing Jeeps of all models and years.
“Adding to the adventure of the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in 2015, Pennzoil is giving attendees the opportunity to participate in the unique Mystery Road Rally off-site excursion,” added Kooyman.
The Mystery Road Rally, made possible by Pennzoil, sends Jeeps on an adventurous scavenger hunt where Jeep owners will follow directions and answer questions along several different routes throughout beautiful Butler County.
For attendees that are not already using Pennzoil, they will have the opportunity to through the Pennzoil ‘Make the Switch Oil Giveaway.’ All registered participants of the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival will receive 6 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus Technology. Pennzoil Platinum is formulated from full synthetic base oil made from pure natural gas, leading to better performance than motor oils made from crude oil.
