I saw a Valvoline ad on TV the other night and it said 1/2 of NASCAR used Valvoline. So if 1/2 use Mobil 1 and 1/2 use Valvoline, that's 100%.
I think someone forgot to count all the Hendricks, Childress, and Gibbs cars.
I just love advertising.

Maybe they mean in their personal cars?
I was just doing some math on this.
Hendrick Racing has 4 cars on Quaker State:
Jr., Johnson, Gordon, and Mears.
Childress Racing has 4 cars on Pennzoil:
Harvick, Burton, Bowyer, and Wimmer.
Gibbs Racing has 3 cars on Gibbs Oil:
Stewart, Hamlin, and Busch.
Ganassi Racing has 3 cars on Texaco:
Franchitti, Montoya, and Sorenson
Who else is using something other than Mobil 1 or Valvoline?

Here are the only Valvoline cars that I can come up with.
Evernham Racing has 3.
Rousch Racing has 5.
I might add IMHO that was the dumbest thing Shell did when they gave up their Pennzoil sponsorship of Rousch Racing to sponsor Childress Racing.

If is says NASCAR it has to be good.
OK, it was twenty two years ago, but I well remember watching the Bathurst 1000 touring car race here in Australia and one of the euro TWR Jaguars had an oil consumption issue and was consuming a fair bit.
The TWR Jags had 'Castrol' emblazoned all over them and all over the drivers and mechanics overalls.
The car in question wheeled into the pits for a top up and what went into the engine ?
Motul ! They didn't even hide the name on the cans !

If the oil race teams used isn't approved for modern street car use, they shouldn't be allowed to advertise as if it was.
Yeah, Mobil One WHAT? There are plenty of M1 branded products. Doesn't have to be engine oil. What about bearing grease or that spray lube? All Mobil has to do is give a couple cases of their spray lube to each team and they can say "Mobil One is used by 100% of NASCAR teams".
Also, many teams are part of M1's contingency award program and sport the M1 decal on the car. They don't have to use the oil in their engines to be eligible for the money, just fly the colors on the front fender.

Believe it or not, my expectations and needs of a motor oil are different from Nascar's.
Groucho, you mean you don't take hard left turns in Time Square at over 200 mph.
