Then, in 1993, one of the biggest names in motorsports saw the potential of Evans Racing, and signed them to a contract. The partnership with Pennzoil would last over 5 years, and was a great success. The cars and team participated in countless races, events and promotions on behalf of their sponsors. Sometimes they just appeared at the track, even if the class wasn't running.

In 1995 the team said goodbye to the old dragster after 21 years of racing. The new dragster made its debut at the Vancouver Motorsports Show in March, to almost 25,000 people. Once again, it took first place for best appearing racecar.

1995 also saw a tremendous performance improvement for the team. Winning over 60% of its races, Evans Racing was becoming a major force in NHRA Division 6. With that success on its side, Pennzoil stepped up with even more support to send the team south of the border in an effort to win the Division Six Championship.

Preparation + Opportunity + Teamwork = Success. A new statement to guide the team through the 1996 season and beyond. 1 28 races later, John is named the Coca-Cola / Lordco Super Quick Champion.

At the 1997 Vancouver Molson Indy, Pennzoil took advantage of the teams professional image and put them front and centre in the Motorsport Expo. Over 50,000 came through BC Place Stadium to view the entire setup, including the dragster and the custom transporter.

The team grew in 1998, with the addition of a Chevy II Super Gas car, owned by Rick Chappell. Brother Bill also traded in his tool belt for a seat belt this season, and saw his first victory in a Federal Mogul Drag Racing Series. Unfortunately, at the end of the 1998 season, Pennzoil announced it would no longer be able to partner with Evans Racing. Personnel changes and the economy closed the book on this chapter of the Evans Racing Team History. However, this was not the end, but just a new beginning.
Bill Evans purchased the Chevy II from teammate Rick Chappell.
