Tenneco, Inc. was founded as the Tennessee division of the Chicago Corporation in 1943 to build a natural-gas pipeline from Texas to West Virginia. The automotive division was spun off from Tenneco Inc. in 1991 along with the packaging, energy, natural gas, and shipbuilding divisions. The company previously owned and operated a large number of gasoline service stations, but all were closed or replaced with other brands by the mid-1990s. In October 28, 2005 the name was changed from Tenneco Automotive to Tenneco in order to reflect the changes in markets that the company is hoping to expand into, such as heavy trucks and two-wheel (motorcycle) exhaust and suspension systems. Tenneco (under the Tenneco Automotive name) sponsored CART's Detroit Grand Prix from 1999 until the race's cancellation after 2001.
