ExxonMobil signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement with two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion Tony Stewart and Stewart-Haas Racing beginning in 2011. The new agreement allows ExxonMobil to build on Mobil 1s ‘Official Motor Oil of NASCAR’Â designation and demonstrate its ongoing commitment to NASCAR. ‘With Mobil 1s long tradition of partnering with world-class race teams around the globe, we are proud of our new association with one of NASCARs top drivers,’Â said Nigel Searl, vice president marketing, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Petroleum Specialties Company. ‘We look forward to helping Stewart-Haas Racing secure a Sprint Cup Series championship and add to the list of successful teams that Mobil 1 has supported for more than 30 years.’Â
Mobil 1 will serve as the co-primary sponsor of the #14 Chevy with Office Depot, the ‘Official Office Products Partner of NASCAR.’Â Mobil 1 will be prominently featured on the hood of Stewarts car for 11 races, while taking a high-profile associate role in the remaining 25 races, as well as the two non-point races. In addition, ExxonMobil will provide Mobil 1 lubricant technology and engineering support to Stewart-Haas Racing and Mobil 1 will be an associate sponsor of Ryan Newmans #39 Chevy, which is also fielded by Stewart-Haas Racing.
‘As a team owner, Im absolutely thrilled to add such a respected technology partner to our race team,’Â said Tony Stewart, co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing. ‘And as a driver, its exciting to partner with a brand that has such an incredible racing pedigree. ExxonMobil is committed to producing the highest-quality racing motor oil and shares the same winning attitude that champions must have to succeed at this level.’Â
Mobil 1 has been the Official Motor Oil of NASCAR since 2003 and is used by more than 50 percent of the teams in NASCARs top-three series.(Stewart-Haas Racing), see image of the scheme on my 2011 #14 Team Scheme page.(10-12-2010)
