CASTROL RETURNS TO NHRA SPONSORSHIP AFTER NINE YEARS AWAY

4.14.1998

          The Texas Motorplex and the NHRA announced that Castrol
     Motor Oil and HiLO/O'Reilly Auto Part Stores would take over
     title rights sponsorship of the Spring Winston Drag Racing
     Series event.  The 2nd Annual NHRA Castrol Lone Star
     Nationals presented by HiLO/O'Reilly Auto Parts will take
     place April 30-May 3 (Texas Motorplex).  Last year's
     inaugural race drew 101,117 fans.  Motorplex Owner Billy
     Meyer declined to discuss the dollar value of the new
     sponsorship package (FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 4/10).  The
     deal marks the first time since '89 that Castrol has been a
     major sponsor of an NHRA race (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 4/10).
