How did we get a Valvoline sponsorship?

I know they were with us at least once last year, but I didn't know they would be back on the car this year. Wonder if they'll be on Darnell's car at Homestead?

They are a major ROUSH associate sponsor.

I would image their chances of returning next year are even more now with Allmendinger in the 43 since they are now in the Ford camp.

Yes, I agree on that because they have been on the Petty cars throughout the season as well.

Petty always has sponsors. Even before he merged with Evernham, back when he was worse off than Yates, he still had companies that wanted to be associated with his team because of the name. Like now, how much does Petty really have to do with the running of the company? It's likely called RPM because of the name value, not because of what he actually brings to the table in other areas.

Winning 200 races and 7 championships has to have some perks with it.

200+

He only won 200 races.

Unless he meant as an owner...?

Valvoline to sponsor Kenseth: hearing and seeing that Valvoline will sponsor #17-Matt Kenseth in a few 2010 Sprint Cup races. No word how many or which races. See an image of the scheme on my #17 Team Schemes page.(12-12-2009)
