While other sports have sticks and balls, NASCAR has the automobile and a fan base steeped in rich car culture. NASCAR fans are more likely than non-fans to be heavy users of their vehicles, which makes the Mobil 1 #INMYRIDE Sweepstakes a perfect avenue for Mobil 1 to build brand awareness and engage fans.
To support the campaign, Mobil 1 is launching an integrated marketing effort that includes online, radio, and video content starring Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Mobil 1/Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet SS and co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR). Joining Stewart to support the campaign is fellow SHR driver Kurt Busch. Each offers a humorous take on various items that reside in their personal vehicles, encouraging fans to do the same.
In January 2013, Mobil 1 announced a multi-year partnership extension making it the “Official Motor Oil of NASCAR” and “Official Lubricant Technology Partner of NASCAR” through 2017. As part of that renewal, Mobil 1and NASCAR launched a digital content platform with the “NASCAR Automotive Technology Center Engineered by Mobil 1” online site, NASCAR.com/AutomotiveTechnology, where fans can learn about the latest in automotive and racing technology.
Mobil 1 has been the Official Motor Oil of NASCAR since 2003 and is used by more than 50 percent of the teams in NASCAR’s top-three series. The 2014 NASCAR racing season marks the 12th consecutive season in which the Mobil 1 brand is an official partner of NASCAR, the premier motorsports series in the United States.
ExxonMobil reminds all Mobil 1 #INMYRIDE Sweepstakes participants to take and share images of the contents of their vehicles only when their vehicle is parked.
