The paint scheme, designed to match PPG’s INDYCAR® livery, took
seven people, 350 hours and 14 days to complete. It was revealed
today at the AMALIE® Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville,
Fla. Featuring bright, bold colors and a high-gloss finish, the car
will be a standout on the track not only at Gainesville when it
premieres, but also at the NHRA New England Nationals, Thunder
Valley Nationals and NHRA Nevada Nationals.
Led by Bob Tasca III, team president and driver, Tasca Racing is
running a full schedule in this year’s NHRA Nitro Funny Car
division. The team’s 11,000-horsepower Nitro Funny Car will display
the PPG logo in every race this year.
“We are excited to be sponsoring Tasca Racing for another
season,” said Bill Shaw, PPG director, strategic sales, Automotive
Refinish. “Our long-time partnership brings two great brands
together, creating a strong collaboration between our companies.
We’re looking forward to another great season and wish Bob and the
rest of the Tasca Racing team, good luck this year.”
“We are thrilled to have PPG renew its commitment for the 2023
season,” said Tasca. “Since day one, there have only been two logos
on my race cars – Ford and PPG. PPG supports our racing program and
supplies paint to seven Tasca body shops across the country,
playing a key partnership role in the growth of our collision
centers over the years.”
For more than 25 years, PPG and Tasca have built a strong
partnership. The Tasca Automotive Group operates multiple car
dealerships, collision centers and service centers that use PPG
products. The PPG ENVIROBASE® High Performance paint system is the
brand of choice in the company’s collision centers.
