Red Line Oil to Sponsor Speed at Talladega:

  • the #46 Whitney Motorsports Ford driven by Scott Speed will be covered in “red and green” thanks to renewed primary sponsorship by Red Line Synthetic Oil, along with Green Stuff, at Talladega Superspeedway – for the Good Sam Club 500 on October 23. “The Whitney team ran really well at the spring NASCAR Sprint Cup event at Talladega, so we look forward to being fast again,” said Red Line Oil Director of Sales and Marketing Cameron Evans. “Drafting this weekend is a bit of an unknown in with NASCAR’s latest changes to the rules for cooling systems, but we know that Scott has raced well at this track in the past.” Speed’s is a good fit for Bay Area-based Red Line Oil, as the driver grew up nearby in Manteca, Calif. Speed started his career as a kart racer and scored many championships before driving for Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula 1 and Red Bull’s NASCAR effort. Red Line Synthetic Oil Corp. manufactures more than 100 quality products for the automotive, racing, motorcycle, marine and industrial markets. Its complete line includes a wide variety of motor oils, gear oils, additives, and greases.(Whitney Motorsports)(10-22-2011)
