In support of its unprecedented engine guarantee announced this week, Valvoline is working with its
NASCAR and NHRA teams to build awareness with consumers and support high school vocational programs
this fall.
Three different teams will take to the track this weekend with special Valvoline Engine Guarantee
paint schemes. In the spirit of the "guarantee," the teams need only to qualify for their
respective races for Valvoline to commit educational materials in the amount of $300,000,
coinciding with the 300,000-mile engine guarantee available to registered consumers.
The special paint schemes will be featured on Reed Sorenson's No. 43 Sprint Cup car at Pocono (Pa.)
Raceway, and Jack Beckman's Funny Car and Cory McClenathan's Top Fuel dragster at the NHRA event in
Joliet, Ill.
The Valvoline Engine Guarantee is the latest innovation by the iconic racing sponsor. Consumers
can register their vehicle at Valvoline.com, use Valvoline motor oil regularly, and they can
guarantee their engine - up to an industry-shattering 300,000 miles. Detailed benefits and
limitations of the Valvoline Engine Guarantee are available at Valvoline.com.
"The common theme for our Valvoline Engine Guarantee and vocational programs is great car care,"
said Rob Clendening, Valvoline brand manager. "Consumers can register for a 300,000 mile guarantee,
and now our race teams can guarantee $300,000 for vo-tech classrooms."
