Stewart Gets New Sponsor

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (AP) — Tony Stewart has signed a multiyear

contract with Mobil 1 to sponsor his race car beginning next

season.

Mobil 1 will be the primary sponsor for 11 races and share

sponsorship of the No. 14 Chevrolet with Office Depot.

Mobil 1 replaces Old Spice, which is leaving at the end of the

season.

The deal completes a void in funding for the two-time NASCAR

champion.

Stewart has been searching for additional money for Stewart-Haas

Racing for several months, and the difficult economy has made it

difficult for even a top-name driver.
