In 2025, Wood Brothers Racing enter its 75th season in competition, marking its diamond anniversary and making it the oldest active team in NASCAR. The team has a technical alliance with Team Penske.

“PPG has a long history in motorsports, and we’re excited to become a part of that this year at one of the most special venues in all of racing,” said Jon Wood, president, Wood Brothers Racing. “PPG’s colors have been a fixture on the track for years, and we’re proud to showcase them on the No. 21 Ford Mustang at Indianapolis. It’s always fun to work with a company that shares such a passion for racing, and we’re looking forward to a great weekend together.”

“It is an honor to have the PPG livery on the Wood Brothers’ Mustang at the Brickyard as the team celebrates its 75th anniversary,” said Bill Shaw, PPG global business director, strategic initiatives, Automotive Refinish. “It is a historic team with close ties to our long-time partners at Team Penske and we can’t wait to see what Josh does behind the wheel of the PPG car.”

PPG will serve as the primary sponsor for the following INDYCAR races:

  • Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 2 at St. Petersburg, Fla.
  • The Thermal Club INDYCAR Grand Prix in March 23 at Thermal, Calif.
  • Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix on May 4 at Birmingham, Ala.

Newgarden, back-to-back Indianapolis 500 Champion and two-time INDYCAR Series Champion, will once again pilot the eye-catching No. 2 PPG Chevrolet. “The PPG car is a fan favorite in INDYCAR,” said Newgarden. “Soon NASCAR fans will get to enjoy it as well. Josh and I have known each other for a long time and actually went to middle school together. To now both be sponsored by PPG is pretty surreal. It’s exciting how things have turned out for two kids from Hendersonville, TN.”
