Question

How can both Mobil 1 and Valvoline claim to be used by over half of NASCAR teams?

Answer 1

Because NASCAR isn't limited to Sprint Cup events only, trucks, superlights, etc. all run with NASCARS' blessing.

Answer 2

i think it's the "new math" they've been teaching in schools for years now.

;-)

that, or some teams might use one for their haulers and the other for their cars...

;-)

Answer 3

Please understand  there are over 40 cars in NASCAR and average person has only 10 fingers  Makes it impossible for the nascar marketing guys or NASCAR officials to accurately get a true number

Answer 4

its all advertising i actually think royal purple is the most used oil

Answer 5

It's called marketing.

Answer 6

MONEY!!!

Answer 7

I think someone is lying. Valvoline claims that more teams use it than any other oil, but does not claim more than half. Some use Quaker State and others use Pennzoil.

Answer 8

Nascar has other series too, and that must be what they are talking aboutl. Maybe Valvoline in the Sprint Cup Series and Moblil 1 in the Truck Series sponsored by Craftsman. Q has Hendrick.

Answer 9

Yeah that is kinda funny since HMS and DEI cars both sport Quaker State stickers on them. And I pretty sure the Shell and Havoline guys would be upset if the 29 and 42 actually used either one of those.

Answer 10

I wonder that to. maybe half use one product and the other half use the other.  

Answer 11

i no for a fact valvoline makes a good race engine oil thats what i used mobile i dont think so its all bull just like sunoco texaco,shell  they use high octane race fuel its all just sponsors if they put mobile oil in there engines they would blew up quik its a about commercial s so consumers buy there c**p just like most sponsors on the cars its all about marketing products but hey thats how the team affords to race
