ChevronTexaco has acquired the Havoline and Texaco Fast Lube names as of 8-14.

In the article it states that they plan to sponsor local motorsports events. Maybe Houston?

Sure would be nice to see Mario with a Champ Car team with sponsorship from Texaco/Havoline. You think Newman/Haas might be a good fit for this "new" team. ;)

I would have liked to have seen Chevron's sponsorship a bit more decorated last year. The black Havoline/Texaco paint job with the white/red/blue chevron logo was not exactly perfect paint.

Nevertheless, I'm sure winning the championship last year was a real eye-opener. I think if there is a race in Houston or thereabouts, you'll see major involvement again like we did before for the street race.

I've never been a fan of the mostly-black Texaco cars. I realize that it's been the tradition, but they just don't look that good, IMO. I like "racier" paint jobs.

as long as they're providing sponsorship funds they can paint the car puke green for all i care.

I loved the old old black and white NH cars of 1990-1995. Texaco was always a good sponsor.
