YPSILANTI, Mich. – -In celebration of the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of Mobil 1\u2122 motor oil, Kalitta Motorsports joined a grand celebration at the Mobil 1 corporate headquarters prior to running special Mobil 1 50th<\/sup> anniversary livery on Doug Kalitta\u2019s car during this week\u2019s Texas NHRA FallNationals in Ennis, Texas, the fourth of six races making up the Countdown to the Championship NHRA Playoffs<\/p>\n

Kalitta and the Mobil 1 team were part of a 50th<\/sup> anniversary commemoration earlier today at the ExxonMobil corporate headquarters in Houston. The Mobil 1 Toyota team started the Top Fuel Dragster\u2019s engine and performed the equivalent of a pre-run warm up for the lunchtime crowd of Mobil 1 executives and employees.<\/p>\n

The event featured Kalitta autographs, food trucks and photo opportunities. Mobil 1 personnel enjoyed unprecedented access to the car and the team hauler while learning the ins and outs of the NHRA Top Fuel dragster. Team Kalitta joins other race teams in Formula 1, NASCAR, Moto GP and Formula E among others in celebrating the Mobil 1 50th<\/sup> anniversary with special livery this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to bring this special paint scheme to life for such a historic anniversary of the Mobil 1 brand,\u201d said Katy Howell, Global Sponsorship Manager on behalf of Mobil 1. \u201cThis livery exemplifies our collaborations in lubricant innovation in the world of motorsports. Together, we\u2019ve crafted livery designs that not only pay homage to the 50-year legacy of the Mobil 1 brand, but also capture the essence of speed, performance and teamwork.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMobil 1 always has our backs with everything they do on and off the track,\u201d Kalitta said. \u201cWe are honored to be a part of their 50th<\/sup> anniversary celebration, but really, we are just fortunate to have Mobil 1 behind us supporting Kalitta Motorsports and Kalitta Air. It\u2019s always great to be in their back yard in Texas, and we\u2019d love to deliver an anniversary victory for them Sunday at Texas Motorplex.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
