KENOSHA, Wis. – May 27, 2009 – For the 13th time since it began sponsoring Penske racing, Snap-on tools have been used on the winning car of the winner as ’s Helio Castroneves captured the 93rd running of the Indy 500 on May 24.

“Snap-on has been a proud sponsor for Penske Racing since 1980 and once again, we are thrilled and honored to have had Snap-on help a driver win the Indy 500,” said Alicia Smales, vice president of marketing for Snap-on Tools. “This is the 15th time a Penske driver has won the Indy 500 and Snap-on has been involved with 13 of those wins.
