NASCAR Sprint Cup team Stewart-Haas Racing officially announced that Mobil 1 would replace Old Spice as Tony Stewart 's primary sponsor for the 2011 season.
The move, which had been rumored for some time, also means that Mobil 1 will be an associate sponsor for Ryan Newman and will provide Stewart-Haas with racing oil.
The oil company is leaving Sam Hornish Jr. and Penske Racing at the end of the year because of the new Shell-Pennzoil's deal with team Penske and Kurt Busch.
According to the release, Mobil 1 will serve as the co-primary sponsor of the No. 14 Chevrolet Impala with Office Depot, the "Official Office Products Partner of NASCAR."
Mobil 1 will be prominently featured on the hood of Stewart's car for 11 races, while taking a high-profile associate role in the remaining 25 races, as well as the two non-point races.
Stewart’s current sponsor, Office Depot will remain as other primary sponsor.
