Victory Lane was originally founded in 1980 as Pit Stop Quick Lube in Ann Arbor, Michigan by Derrick and Jane Oxender. When the company began offering franchise sales in 1986, the name was changed to Victory Lane Quick Oil Change. This history makes Victory Lane the longest operating quick lube franchise in Michigan. In July of 2014, after over 30 years of successful operation, the Oxender’s sold Victory Lane to Justin and Lauren Cialella. The Victory Lane franchise currently operates 37 locations in eight states.
