Shell race car coming to Wilsonville
Race car enthusiasts may be interested in the NASCAR sports car coming to Wilsonville tomorrow. The 22 Shell-Pennzoil Race Car will be at the Shell station along Boones Ferry Road in Wilsonville between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Friday, June 28. Dee Arora, spokesperson for the Shell station, said in an email that people will be able to sit in the car and get a sense of what it would be like to drive it in a race. Arora said the sports car is difficult to get because Shell only has one car and it is often booked throughout the country. He said the Wilsonville location is able to get access to the car because the gas station, which opened in April, is new.
