NASCAR® – Mobil 1™ partners with Stewart-Haas Racing
Since 2011, the Mobil 1™ brand has provided every Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) driver with Mobil 1™ lubricant technology and engineering support. SHR has won multiple series championships during our partnership, making SHR one of the most prominent teams in NASCAR. The Mobil 1 team continuously looks for any advantage to help the drivers maximize race car performance.
Sponsoring another winning team in 2020
Mobil 1™, the Official Motor Oil of NASCAR®, provides full primary sponsorships on all four SHR premier series cars at various NASCAR premier series races throughout the year. Race fans can see full Mobil 1 sponsorships on:
- Kevin Harvick’s No. 4 car
- Aric Almirola’s No. 10 car
- Clint Bowyer’s No. 14 car
- Cole Custer’s No. 41 car
The Mobil 1 brand remains an associate sponsor for all SHR drivers at all other races. The Mobil 1 lubricant technology support helped drivers Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick earn premier series championships for SHR in 2011 and 2014, respectively.

“[SHR was] battling for the lead and we got in a scenario where our driveline was so efficient that we could make it on one more stop where the other teams had to pit twice to make it to the end. That was one of the biggest cases where we saw how strong Mobil 1 was.”

A collaborative effort
The partnership between the Mobil 1 brand and SHR has never been just a logo on a car. Both groups work closely together to tackle racing challenges.
“With two championships already, our partnership with Stewart-Haas Racing has been pushing performance limits since day one. We’re ready to add more wins and titles to the collection. Our engineers are continuously working to advance our lubricant technology and SHR plays a large role in how we test our engine lubricants – ensuring consumers and race fans are getting the best product available.”
– Kai Decker, global motorsports and sponsorships manager at ExxonMobil

This season continues a collaborative engineering relationship used to create lubricant packages and push technology limits. This relationship helps the SHR team win races and ExxonMobil improve the quality of Mobil 1™-branded lubricant products with improved fuel mileage, engine efficiency and reliability.
A successful partnership
The partnership with ExxonMobil has led to significant on-track success for SHR, compiling two NASCAR Cup Series championships, more than 45 race wins, more than 200 top-five finishes and more than 400 top-10 finishes.
“[SHR is] thrilled to continue [its] partnership with ExxonMobil. They’ve been an incredible partner. The success we’ve achieved has been greatly helped by Mobil 1 lubricant technology and our engineers working hand in hand with their engineers.”
