“Even though I've driven quite a few cars throughout my racing career, this is going to be really fun”While Stewart drove the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-23 at Watkins Glen International last year, fans can now “Choose Tony's Ride” during three rounds of voting hosted on the Mobil 1 Facebook page. Voting starts today and concludes Aug. 27. This special event highlights the long heritage of outstanding protection and performance provided by Mobil 1, whether used in the extreme conditions of motorsports or in everyday vehicles.
“Even though I've driven quite a few cars throughout my racing career, this is going to be really fun,” said Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Mobil 1/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala. “On the Charlotte Motor Speedway infield road course, I've never been behind the wheel of any of the four vehicles involved in the voting. I could be doing laps in anything – a racing Corvette or Camaro, a soccer-mom van or vintage tank. No matter what the fans pick, it's going to be a big difference from taking the Mobil 1 Chevy through the oval in Charlotte.”
