NEEDHAM, Mass. -- PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), the Product Development Company[R], is proud to partner with Penske Racing, whose cars are designed and developed using Pro/ENGINEER, PTC's industry-leading integrated parametric, MCAD/CAM/CAE software, as the team claimed 1st and 2nd place at the 50th running of the Daytona 500 on February 17, 2008. Ryan Newman captured the checkered flag in the No. 12 Alltel Dodge, while Kurt Busch helped push his teammate to victory in the No. 2 Miller Lite car for Penske Racing.

Penske uses Pro/ENGINEER for chassis design, engine program development, motion simulation of suspension components, aerodynamic surfacing and rapid prototyping for wind tunnel models.
