Celebrating 40 years in business this season

The infamous Tricky Triangle isn’t the only company celebrating 40 years in business this season.

Mobil 1 turns 40 this year and hopes to celebrate in style this upcoming race weekend in Victory Lane at Pocono Raceway.

In addition to its primary sponsorship of the No. 14 Mobil 1 / Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet SS driven by Tony Stewart, Mobil 1 also provides lubricant technology and engineering support to the entire Stewart-Haas Racing team.

Earlier this week, the company announced the addition of a one-time full primary sponsorship of Kevin Harvick‘s No. 4 Chevrolet SS for this weekend’s GoBowling.com 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

The announcement has the Mobil 1 mojo heating up at Stewart-Haas.

"Kevin Harvick has had a brilliant year and is a strong contender to win the 2014 Sprint Cup Series title," said Artis Brown, global motorsports manager, Mobil 1. "As a member of Stewart-Haas Racing, Kevin has experienced the protection and performance benefits of Mobil 1 lubricants in the No. 4 race car firsthand. Now, with the No. 4 Chevy, we’re proud to have Mobil 1 on and under the hood."

Harvick is currently 11th in the championship standings, and with two wins, virtually assured to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup under the new format.  

Meanwhile, Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner Tony Stewart is working his way toward securing his own spot in the 2014 Chase. This Sunday will mark Stewart’s 32nd start at Pocono Raceway. He has 5,678 laps under his belt at the Tricky Triangle, boasting two wins and 12-top 5s.

Stewart hopes the Mobil 1 mojo will ignite a victory, and appreciates the company’s longstanding support.

"Beginning with that 2011 season, Mobil 1 has been a great partner for the entire Stewart-Haas Racing team — this year, even more so with our expansion to four cars," Stewart said.

Today, more than half of all NASCAR teams in NASCAR’s top three series rely on Mobil 1 lubricant technology. According to Rebecca Aldred, global passenger vehicle lubricants brand manager, the strategy behind the Mobil 1 brand’s commitment to motorsports is not as simple as many assume.

"Motorsports is a vibrant and exciting endeavor for the brand, but we’re not involved just to win races," explained Aldred. "Supporting race teams also offers us the opportunity to demonstrate our lubricant technology prowess and test car engine oils in the most demanding and extreme environments. Year after year, what we learn on the track informs formulations that help keep everyday cars running like new as well."

A truly iconic brand in motorsports, Mobil 1 is no stranger to the winner’s circle.

This year, the brand is also celebrating the 25th anniversary of Rusty Wallace’s 1989 NASCAR premier series championship. Having won multiple races as a Formula 1 team sponsor, it took Mobil 1 only three short years to reach the pinnacle of NASCAR as an associate sponsor of Wallace’s No. 27 race car.  Wallace had four career victories and 10 top-five finishes at Pocono, and was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2013.

Stewart was quick to enjoy similar success with Mobil 1 under the hood. In 2011, his first year driving for Stewart-Haas Racing and with Mobil 1 on board as a primary sponsor, Stewart captured his third career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship by winning the final race of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway by a margin of 1.3 seconds.

In addition to its Stewart-Haas Racing partnership, the 2014 season marks the 12th consecutive year in which Mobil 1 has served as the Official Motor Oil of NASCAR®.

Team focused, but in a holding pattern until return of crew chief Darian Grubb

RELATED: Play NASCAR Fantasy Live | Sign up for RaceView today

LONG POND, Pa. — Denny Hamlin said while the loss of crew chief Darian Grubb will be felt, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver is confident his team can weather the storm and “by Chase time, we’ll be a contender.”

Grubb, Hamlin’s crew chief on the No. 11 Toyota since the end of the 2011 season, is absent from Pocono Raceway this weekend as he begins serving a six-week suspension, along with car chief Wesley Sherrill, for penalties following post-race inspection last weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Hamlin was penalized 75 driver and owner points while Grubb and car chief Wesley Sherrill were suspended. Team engineer Mike Wheeler is serving as interim crew chief during Grubb’s absence. JGR officials are appealing the penalties.

“It’s a tough deal. It’s something that obviously affects our team,” Hamlin said prior to Friday’s opening Sprint Cup practice at Pocono, “but there are obviously other opportunities as well for us to go out there and get our stuff going.

"As an organization we were heading in the right direction so it kind of sucks because you lose a little bit of that momentum, but you also know that regardless of whether we had that (issue) or not we were still running pretty fast last week and would’ve finished in the same spot."

Hamlin finished third at Indy, sandwiched in between teammates Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth.

NASCAR said the penalty was the result of issues with block-off plates inside the car.

Hamlin said while Grubb isn’t at the track, “really I’m in pretty good hands.

"I’ve been with Mike Wheeler longer than I’ve been with anyone in the Cup Series,” he said. “We worked together a lot and I’m pretty confident in the job that he’s going to do. … Even though it’s tough losing those guys, and it’s tough for them especially, I don’t think things will change at the race track too much.

"Darian is in constant contact with (Wheeler) at all times and myself. So, it’s not too bad as far as that’s concerned."

The loss of a crew chief at the track "is a challenge," said Chad Knaus, crew chief for six-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson. "It’s never fun being suspended.”

Knaus has spent time away from the track due to violations, most notably in 2006 when he was suspended for four races. Johnson won two of the four in his absence, including the season-opening Daytona 500.

"Then with the way things are today with your limited amount of practice time, the limited amount of things you can change on the race car, a crew chief being at the race track probably isn’t nearly as bad as it was the last time I was suspended quite honestly," Knaus said. 

"I think Darian is going to have some opportunities to sit back and try to get focused on what he needs to do going into the Chase. Now preparation is the key. If they can get prepared before they leave North Carolina, before they get to the race track I don’t think it’s going to bother them the least little bit. That is a solid team."

Kenseth said the biggest issue won’t be car preparation, but what goes on at the track, that impacts a team when a crew chief is sidelined.

"You’re still missing your head coach," he said. "The guy who leads the people and gets them together, talks strategy … you’re not looking in his eyes and talking face-to-face and doing all that kind of stuff.

"It’s not as hard as it was at one time but I think certainly you’d still want him here."

Hamlin was 13th fastest in Friday’s opening practice at Pocono. He is a four-time winner at the 2.5-mile track. Because he has one win this season (at Talladega), he’s likely sewn up a spot in this year’s Chase for the Sprint Cup.

"You use stuff like this as motivation to go out there and prove that you can run fast no matter what," he said. "We were on a run there last really month and a half to two months that I feel like our cars were really starting to turn the corner. So, really, I’m excited about what these next six weeks bring. 

"We’ve got some great race tracks ahead of us — a lot of them which we feel like we can win."

Driver, 20, says future plans ‘will sort themselves out’

RELATED: Play NASCAR Fantasy Live | Sign up for RaceView today

LONG POND, Pa. — Ryan Blaney said Thursday at Pocono Raceway that his attention is on winning the 2014 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship, and plans for 2015 "will sort themselves out."

Schedule

According to a report Friday, Blaney, 20, is in line to move into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2015 to run a limited schedule with Wood Brothers Racing while also competing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series for Team Penske.

Blaney currently runs a full schedule in the Truck Series for Brad Keselowski Racing, and has made seven Nationwide Series starts this year for Team Penske, for whom Keselowski competes in Cup.

Blaney does have one career Sprint Cup start, making his debut with Team Penske earlier this season at Kansas. He finished 27th.

"We’re focused on winning the truck championship this year and focused on this weekend at Pocono," Blaney said. "Keep growing this (program). Those days will sort themselves out down the road."

Wood Brothers Racing, which has fielded teams in NASCAR’s premier series since 1953, runs a limited schedule with driver Trevor Bayne and has been affiliated with Roush Fenway Racing, another Ford organization. RFR officials announced earlier this year that Bayne, the 2011 Daytona 500 winner, would compete for the organization full-time in Cup beginning in 2015.

Team Penske Vice President Jonathan Gibson said via email Friday that the organization has plans for Blaney’s future.
 
"Ryan Blaney continues to do a great job with our organization and we have a plan for his progression within Team Penske," he said. "While we have had some discussions with our partners at Ford, nothing has been finalized."

Blaney enters Saturday’s Pocono Mountains 150 as the series points leader and defending champion of the race. He has finished in the top five in five of his last six starts.

"Right now," he said, "I’m focused with the truck team at BKR and trying to win as many of these races, along with Nationwide races, as we can."
