The Official Motor Oil of NASCAR is launching a digital video content series depicting Stewart exploring unconventional hobbies following his retirement from Sprint Cup racing
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With the 2016 NASCAR® Sprint Cup season serving as Tony Stewart’s last as a professional stock car driver, Mobil 1™, the Official Motor Oil of NASCAR, is helping the three-time series champ humorously explore post-NASCAR racing hobbies with the release of the “Tony’s Next Chapter” digital video series.
In the four vignettes, Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Mobil 1 Chevrolet and co-owner of Stewart- Haas Racing, is joined by teammates Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Jimmy John’s Chevrolet, and Danica Patrick, driver of the No. 10 Nature’s Bakery Chevrolet.
“Throughout our partnership, I’ve had a blast appearing in digital video and television spots for Mobil 1,” said Tony Stewart, three-time Sprint Cup champion and co-owner of SHR. “We decided to have some fun one last time for our fans.”
The four 30-second vignettes will be released in two segments:
The “Tony’s Next Chapter” videos will be featured on the Mobil 1 and SHR Facebook pages and Twitter along with being featured on the Mobil 1 YouTube channel. Fans can also look for behind-the-scenes content on Mobil 1 Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channel.
“Our partnership with Tony and Stewart-Haas Racing has really centered on technology and how we can help the team’s cars go faster each week. We also know race fans are very interested in what Tony’s future holds – on and off the track,” said Kai Decker, global motorsports manager at ExxonMobil. “We hope fans of Tony, Kevin and Danica enjoy this lighthearted video series. We continue to wish Tony a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming him back to the track this race season.”
“Tony’s Next Chapter” is the first of a variety of digital video content series Mobil 1 will roll out throughout the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup season – showcasing the brand’s role with Stewart, Harvick and Patrick. A late spring and summer series will feature Stewart alongside Harvick and Patrick on America’s highways in a series of comical situations, as they roadtrip together to Sprint Cup races. Concurrently, they’ll be featured in quick-hit videos in which the drivers are asked for their opinions on topics such as food, driving styles and hobbies.
In addition to its association with SHR, Mobil 1™ is entering its 14th season as the “Official Motor Oil of NASCAR.”
