The Sprint Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway this season found its sponsor somewhere in the Chicago sewer, probably eating pizza.
The race that opens the Chase for the Sprint Cup will be sponsored by turtles. But not just any turtles. The race will be sponsored by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
At an event in Chicago, the track announced with Danica Patrick that the Sept. 18 race will be called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400.
Not to be confused with the movie being released in June, the race is sponsored by the cartoon series that airs on Nickelodeon. The series will also sponsor the No. 10 Chevrolet of Patrick, who is a native of Roscoe, Illinois.
