NASCAR team Stewart-Haas Racing has announced the signing of ExxonMobil and its brand Mobil 1 as a co-primary sponsor of Tony Stewart's car from 2011.
The Sprint Cup series team has been looking for sponsors for 2011 as its deal with Old Spice, which shares as main sponsor with Office Depot and Burger King on Stewart's car, is due to expire at the end of the season, reports Autosport.
Mobil 1 is also NASCAR's official motor oil and switches to Stewart's team following many years with Penske Racing.
Stewart said the multi-year deal with ExxonMobil completes the bulk of the budget for his two-car team for next year.
"We're in good shape on the #14 car now," he added. "This has fulfilled what we're looking for to fill the void for Old Spice next year. It allows us to now put that project behind us. We're still always looking for new partners. You never stop in that category.
"So the search [for sponsors] isn't necessarily over. But this does fill the void from the Old Spice brand leaving at the end of the year. On Ryan [Newman's] car, we're still looking for some associate sponsorship also, but we're very happy that Tornados and US Army are coming back again.”
