Pepsi was in fact the 1st sponsor to invest ($1,000) in a young Paul Tracy as the age of 13 years old…..and returns to help him capture a 5th GPLB title this weekend.

04/12/11 This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' with this news item.

04/12/11 Rumor has it that the popular California Supermarket chain Ralphs will be the primary sponsor for Paul Tracy at Long Beach with Rockstar Energy Drink an associate sponsor. Tracy will be driving the No. 8 Dragon Dallara Honda car for at least five road/street races this year. We expect a formal announcement from the team any day now.
