Stewart-Haas Racing announced Friday that it had extended its partnership with ExxonMobil in a new multi-year deal that will make Kevin Harvick and his No. 4 Chevrolet the team’s lead Mobil 1 car in the future.
Mobil 1 primarily has been on the hood of Tony Stewart, who will retire at the end of this season. Clint Bowyer will replace Stewart in the No. 14 Chevrolet.
Harvick will be the “lead driver,” as the team said, but Mobil 1 will be on the hood of all four drivers at some point in 2017. Kurt Busch and Danica Patrick, in the Nos. 41 and 10, respectively, fill out the Stewart-Haas roster.
Additionally, Mobil 1 will serve as an associate sponsor for the team’s new NASCAR XFINITY Series program with Cole Custer.
