Mobil 1 to Sponsor Stewart-Haas Racing:

  • 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’ 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,’ 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.’
    Mobil 1 will serve as the co-primary sponsor of the #14 Chevy with Office Depot, the ‘Official Office Products Partner of NASCAR.’ 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,’ 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.’
    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)
