We are pleased to announce that PennGrade 1 Oil has become the latest partner for the Zimmer’s Service Center ULMS Late Model Series for the 2021 season. The PennGrade 1® “The Original Green Oil,” and is the ideal marketing partner for the ULMS Racing Series. For the 2021 season, each featured winner that is displaying a PennGrade 1® decal will receive a free case of PennGrade 1® High Performance Oil.

“This is a hugely sentimental deal for myself and the ULMS Racing Series,” stated ULMS owner, Chris Zuver.   Zuver continued, “My father worked and retired at the Bradford plant when PennGrade 1® was originally named Kendall.  I grew up with this oil in my personal vehicles and seen many racers use this oil including my own cousin, Al Brewer, over the past three plus decades.  To have a corporate company such as PennGrade 1® High Performance Oil support our program is huge, with many of our events being in Pennsylvania, the heart of oil industry.  This is just the perfect exposure for all parties involved.   A case of oil will add up.  With the economy showing changes of higher prices, who wouldn’t want a free case of oil now or later this summer when prices are even higher?

PennGrade 1®, “the original green oil,” comes from a long history of innovation and evolution. Their story begins with Kendall GT-1 Racing Oil circa 1965 at the Kendall Refinery in Bradford, Pennsylvania.  Kendall GT-1 used the unique Pennsylvania-grade base oil cut in its formulations. Many famous racers, such as Big Daddy Don Garlits (Swamp Rat), Bruce Larson (USA-1), Kyle Petty and V (Vieri) Gaines used Kendall GT-1 to power their race cars to numerous world championships.

WITCO Corp. sold the Kendall Motor brand to a third party in 1997, and the refinery was sold to American Refinery Group, Inc. ARG then started its own brand of motor oil called Brad Penn (short for Bradford, Pennsylvania). Around 2002, after racing enthusiasts inquired about a racing oil in the vein of Kendall GT-1, ARG launched Brad Penn PennGrade 1 High Performance Oil. And yes, the color was green just as the GT-1 was for all those years. This oil was an instant success with drag racers, hot rodders and oval track racers (both dirt and asphalt) as well as vintage, muscle and classic car enthusiasts. With the unique Pennsylvania-grade base oil and the enhanced zinc and phosphorus (ZDDP) package, the original green oil was back and better than ever!

Then in 2015, D-A Lubricant Company, Inc. acquired the Brad Penn Finished Lubes division from ARG and shortened the name of its flagship product to PennGrade 1®. It is the same great oil, just with a new look.  This oil has been around 50-plus years for a good reason. A multi-generational lubricant, PennGrade 1® stands for a long and continued history of pride, passion and protection.

The PennGrade 1 High Performance green oil is used in the Terry Suppa owned #4s machine driven by David “Slowride” Scott.   Suppa’s cars have found two Zimmer Service Center ULMS Late Model Series championships in 2016 and 2017 and has recorded eight wins and countless number of overall fast times and heat wins on the ULMS circuit since 2016.

You can purchase your next case of PennGrade 1 High Performance Oil at ULMS Racing Series marketing partners, Close Racing Supply in Eldred, Pennsylvania and Bernheisel Race Cars Inc., in Jonestown, Pennsylvania.

The Zimmer’s Service Center ULMS Late Model Series will kick off their 2021 #ulmsmilliondollartour on Friday March 19 at Williams Grove Speedway with a 30 lap $3000 to win event followed by two days at Port Royal Speedway with two events paying $3000 and $4000 to win for a $10,000 to win weekend in central Pennsylvania.
