Mobil 1 to return to NHRA with TRD and Kalitta

[DrRocket]

Mobil 1 will return to the NHRA in 2020.
ExxonMobil, in partnership with Toyota Racing Development, will become Kalitta Motorsports’ official lubricant partner in 2020, and Mobil 1 racing oil will be used in all team cars.

I'm surprised no one spotted that yet.

Mobil 1 was a sponsor of Jack Clark's car, with Tom McEwen driving. Long time ago, but it would be nice to see them return as a major sponsor.

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully they stick around. The more sponsors, the better it is.

Boy I don't know about this, remember what happened to the engines with that PS team in southern Illinois?
They also ran Mobil 1 and it busted the hell out of there engines.

They will probably put Red Line oil in Mobil 1 jugs, I have seen Red Line oil being put in Penzoil jugs in a trailer. The "Penzoil" jugs were then taken out of the trailer then the "Penzoil" being put into the engine at a national event. I'm sure that happened with other brands of oil as well.

Great news! Glad that Red Line is still involved sponsoring cars in the NHRA.
