Penske Racing Sponsorship to End
ExxonMobil will discontinue its sponsorship relationship with Penske Racing after the 2010 season. It has been a long and successful relationship, and we wish the Penske team continued success on the track. Mobil 1 remains "The Official Motor Oil of NASCAR" and the choice of lubricants for more than 50% of the NASCAR teams. ExxonMobil remains fully committed to motorsports and will continue to strongly support Mobil 1 in NASCAR going forward.

Step up Mobil 1


Shell got the deal.

As for Mobil 1, last November, the company announced a technology partnership with TRD, U.S.A., Toyota’s American racing arm. This year, all Toyota teams that are using TRD engines are running Mobil 1 racing oil and lubricants. If Mobil 1 continues as a primary sponsor in NASCAR after departing from Penske, it’s almost certain they would go to a Toyota team.
 
Keep in mind not all Toyota teams are actual TRD. As Joe Gibbs has their own inhouse engine program where MWR does get engines directly from TRD
 
Mobil 1 and Toyota UPDATE: not quite sure what this is all about, have heard nor seen anything but......Mobil 1 Racing and Toyota Racing Development (TRD) U.S.A to make announcement about 2010 NASCAR season Friday at Phoenix International Raceway, scheduled to be attending the announcement are Brian Vickers, driver of the #83 Red Bull Toyota; Michael Waltrip, owner of Michael Waltrip Racing and driver of the #55 NAPA Toyota; Lee White, President and General Manager, TRD; Harold Shablom, Global Motorsport Manager, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties.(PR)(11-13-2009)
UPDATE: ExxonMobil and Toyota Racing Development (TRD) unveiled a new technological partnership in which ExxonMobil will provide its Mobil 1 racing oil technology and products to TRD- supported NASCAR teams. Kicking off at the start of the 2010 NASCAR season, TRD-supplied NASCAR engines will be filled with specially modified motor oil based on the same technology available to consumers in Mobil 1 Racing oils, which were unveiled in April. The TRD-specific motor oils will deliver outstanding power via unique low-friction synthetic lubricant technology combined with boosted levels of anti-wear additives to protect and extend the life of engine hardware. Formally announced before the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway, the collaboration will pair Mobil 1, the “Official Motor Oil of NASCAR,” with one of NASCAR’s top engine manufacturers. With this new partnership, ExxonMobil’s racing oil technology will now provide performance and protection for the TRD-supported Red Bull Racing and Michael Waltrip Racing NASCAR teams.(Toyota PR)(11-14-2009)
