Austin Dillon to drive No. 3 Dow MOLYKOTETM Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Sept. 9 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA – WEBWIRE – Wednesday, August 29, 2018 – MOLYKOTETM lubricants regularly are used under the hood of driver Austin Dillon’s racecar, but the 25th running of the Brickyard 400 on Sept. 9 brings the addition of MOLYKOTETM branding on the side panels of the No. 3 Dow MOLYKOTETM Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. This is the second consecutive year for Dillon’s racecar to carry MOLYKOTETM branding for the race.
“It’s a point of pride that our products – including MOLYKOTETM 111 Compound to keep engine compartment Orings and gaskets in place – are used in Austin Dillon’s No. 3 car from week to week; Austin and his team count on us to help keep their car on the track at high speeds and extreme temperatures,” said Marjorie Dwane, Global Market Manager for MOLYKOTETM Specialty Lubricants. “We’re thrilled about the opportunity to work with Dow Racing, through its partnership with Richard Childress Racing, to again place our branding on the No. 3 car for the Brickyard 400. And because 2018 is the 70th anniversary of trusted MOLYKOTETM Smart LubricationTM solutions, being featured in this way at the race is extraspecial for us.”
In addition to silicone compounds, MOLYKOTETM automotive specialty lubricant options include greases, pastes, oils, dispersions and antifriction coatings. Full details are available on the MOLYKOTETM automotive lubricants web page, accessible via molykote.com.
