- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- NASCAR is a fiercely competitive sport, with 40 different teams racing inches away from each other for hours. The competition doesn’t stop with the drivers and teams though, there are competing sponsors in every single race. Coke vs Pepsi, Budweiser vs Miller, UPS vs Fed ex. All happening week in and week out, and I wanted to see who was on top in the sponsorship battles.
Today we look at the Motor Oil Wars. Valvoline, Pennzoil, Mobil 1, Quaker State, Castrol, Havoline, and STP. This is a history PACKED episode, so buckle in! If you haven’t already, be sure to hit the subscribe button to stay in the loop. I post history themed NASCAR content every single week!
Thanks for all the support, yall rock!

Erik Jones Had A STP Throwback At North Wilkesboro All Star Race Last Year
Fun fact about Neil Bonnett and his Valvoline car, his 2 wins in 1988 were run on Hoosier tires during the early of the tire war between Goodyear and Hoosier in the late 80s
Woah! That’s an awesome fact, thanks a ton!
@@DoglegMediaMatt tire wars video?
I believe there was also an exhibition race in Austrailia between Rockingham and Richmond that bonnett also won.
@michaeljensen1817 that's correct. The Goodyear 500 held at the Thunderdome aka Calder Park. Track was a 1.1mi oval modeled to look like Charlotte Speedway. Hoosier couldn't do the race cause of not only Goodyear having exclusive sponsor and rights there, but also the very high cost to ship thousands of tires to "Land down Under". And yes Bonnett did win that one.
What’s crazy is Castro has a long and storied history in sports car racing but, very little in NASCAR.
Havolie/Texaco, Needs To Come Back To NASCAR.
Jack Sprague won 13 races and a championship for Quaker State in the truck series fron 1996 to 98.
17:55 Forgot about Lucas Oil because there's barely any documentation of them in NASCAR. And I think we all know it was no contest that STP was gonna win at least via the numbers
It is a very scarce history, I’m glad I caught it!
If you want to know more about Lucas Oil’s history with the NASCAR look into their initial sponsorship of Larry Gunselman
Harvick's last win was at Richmond in 2022, not 23. He should have won the spring race at Phoenix last year tho. Man, that hurt.
Good catch! And yeah maybe I was just thinking about what should have been 😅
Shoutout to (I think) Rick Ware racing for an awesome Havoline 28 throwback at Talladega in 2021
STP is still with Petty but they don't sponsor a lot the last race they sponsored was the 2023 All Star race at North Wilkesboro
Yeah, I do points races, and their last points race was 2021 with jones at Darlington
I’m surprised Blaney wasn’t mentioned in the Pennzoil segment for his Roval win in 2018 and the Talladega win last year. I know Menards was still on both of those cars but Pennzoil was equally represented on those cars and they were a different scheme than your normal Menards scheme to accommodate for the Pennzoil sponsorship.
Dude, that 1996-97 Valvoline scheme brings back the memories, such a nice clean scheme. Though my personal favorite Valvoline scheme is Mark's 2000 scheme.
The 12 Mobile 1 scheme with the Pegasus is perhaps my second favorite "oil sponsor car," though.
Mobil 1 schemes are ALWAYS better with the Pegasus!
10:39 technically Suarez won in the Mexico series but I understand why it’s not included
That is a good point tho!
Best NASCAR Motor Oil Stp From The 70s 80s And Early 90s Iconic
I take it this isn't counting non-points paying wins, because if they were counted, Neil Bonnett would have three, as he won the 1988 Goodyear NASCAR 500 at the Calder Park Thunderdome in Australia.
Yeah only points paying, but that’s a great point!
As you know, Hendrick Motorsports maybe is the only team winning the championships with their oil relationship (Valvoline and Quaker State) which is also secondary sponsor like Jeff Gordon (4), Terry Labonte (1996), Jimmie Johnson (7) and recently Kyle Larson (2021).
I love all these sponsor battles. Hope you do a soda/cola one and a fast food one!
Soda is coming up next!
For the Thumbnail, you chose Harvick for Shell/Pennzoil and Jones for STP. Insane! XD Not like they're champions out there that won their titles WITH those schemes.
In all seriousness, this comment is not to be taken seriously. At first I thought you wanted a next gen car to represent STP and maybe some of the other brands like Castrol in the thumbnail, as next gens are the current car in Nascar. Then, i saw Harvick at the back of that Shell/Pennzoil logo XD
My designer is a Harvick fanboy 😂 thanks for the comment!
I believe had Davey Allison lived Havoline would had several more wins and at least one championship; I could see Davey retiring in early to mid 2000s as for post retirement, I could see him became playing similar role at RYR as Jeff Gordon has Hendrick Motorsports. I'm not sure who would take over the 28 after but whoever they would've been, definitely the pressure from Yates Racing and Havoline might be for his suddessor greater then it was in real life.
1993 and 1994 were some of the saddest years in NASCAR with the deaths of not Alan Kulwicki, Davey Allison, Neil Bonnett and Rodney Orr is heartbreaking when you think about it.
I agree 100%. Davey is someone I wished I had the pleasure of seeing race. He was destined for something special
I'm still hoping that Brad gets a win soon, having castrol on the car would be gravy.
I agree!

Here comes impact with the best of the rest!
Just pointing out I could be missing more but Blaney won in 2018 roval in a pennzoil car
Trust me, I literally had him in this script, but check racing reference and Jayski, Pennzoil is listed as the secondary sponsor. 9 times out of 10 the hood sponsor is the primary, but not in the case of the 2018 roval, as Menards was listed as the primary.
My personal favorite is valvoline. They have some fire schemes.
Morgan Shepherd won the 1988 Christmas 500 in Australia for Raymoc & Valvoline.
This is a great addition, thanks!
Not sure how much they count, because they make motor oil additives rather than the oil itself, but Wynn's also has a Cup win, an upset with Lake Speed at Darlington in 1988.
At first I didn’t really like this idea, but now I feel like I’m warming up to it and quite enjoy it.
I love to hear that! Back to Xfinity number history next time!
Really enjoyed this video once again! Thx Matt for all your hard work!
I appreciate this! Thanks a ton for the kind words!
Next battle should be automotive repairs such as GM Goodwrench
The picture of Davy Allison at 19:18 I have on my wall
That’s amazing!
Update Castrol now has 2 two wins as I type this with Keselowski’s Darlington Win
I know it would be all older cars, but do you think there would be a tobacco sponsor battles video?
Oh my Gosh, I just posted the poll like 10 minutes ago. This will 100% be on the next poll, and I bet it will win! Great mention!
Maybe the deciding factor on whether a championship counts or not is being a primary for at least 25% of the races? So any sponsor that is the primary for 9/36 races gets a cup. Idk, just trying to throw a number around for consistency.
Good idea!
I will say this about the Valvoline championship argument. There are very few primary sponsors anymore. I guess you could go by a majority and that's all.
Yeah that’s typically how I do it!
A few comments:
1) Bonnet also won at Thunderdome Raceway between the two other wins, but it was an exhibition (non-points paying) race. Interesting statistic/story though.
2) Agree with you on Larson.
3) Should’ve included Michael Waltrip in with Pennzoil section though he had no wins with them.
4) Should’ve merged Exxon Superflo and Mobil 1 together, though I dont remember if anyone but Rowdy Burns won with Superflo. Hahaha.
5) Agree about Stewart.
6) Long live the King!!!!!
Thanks a ton for the bonnet and superflo additions! Funny you say that about Michael and Pennzoil, they were in the original script but thought I would keep it to winners, so thanks for adding that as well! Thanks for watching!
Michael won a all star open or race with pennzoil
Citgo makes motor oil as well.
Built Three Valvoline Models with Two more coming. Aslo, I run the font of Bonnett's 75.
That’s awesome!
I Would Like to See Candy Wars!
I would too! It will happen soon!
Alright!
Mobil 1 was sponsor of bubba at cota
you should battery wars like duracell and energizer
I like it!
You could've completely forgotten kfb. Just to annoy the meat riders
😂😂😂
I am assuming no love for Lucas Oil, Kendall, and Beard Oil due to their lack of wins.
Same for Marathon but, my no Citgo?
With Castrol, i know it isn't Cup. Casey Atwood won in the Busch Series with Castrol.
So... Corey Heim driving a STP sponsored car at Dover this month was an illusion? Last I checked, the STP brand was still tied with Petty, and that was after they left in '03, stayed gone from '04-'10, and then STP reunited in '11 with Allmendinger. Petty and STP have not split since.
Well, this video came out before Dover and Heim. The video correctly portrayed the last points race that STP had sponsored at the time of the upload
Forgot to mention about Ryan Blaney winning at the roval in 2018.
Pennzoil was listed as the secondary sponsor, which I know is weird since they were on the hood. 9 times out of 10 the primary is the hood sponsor, but there are those weird instances
For valvoiline Mark Martin needed a new back for the carrying
FACTS
This is great, whats next?
Also hate to be this guy but First Comment
Confirmed on first comment! I think we make a return to Xfinity Number history next week!
@@DoglegMediaMattYESSSSS
You forgot about Casey Atwood who had Castrol back in the day on the 27 car
That was in the Busch series, for this series we are talking Cup series, but great mention!
Daniel Suarez won the Atlanta race
You forgot to mention Mobil 1 also sponsored Bubba Wallace (Which is the exact same scheme Tyler Reddick ran at Phoenix 2 weeks prior) alongside Kamui Kobayashi at COTA Yesterday
Yeah, I definitely didn’t mention Bubba by name, but I did say split between Gibbs, 23XI, and Legacy.
I AM HERE NOW!
MY AMIGO 🔥🔥🔥
Hi HERE NOW! im dad
@@diceguy10HEY SPORT HOW R YA
Wasn't Mayfield's 1st win in 98 when he beat DW?
Yeah the Earnhardt battle I remember was in 2000 not his first win in 1998
Didn’t Harvick run with havoline for a little while in the early 2000's, i could have sworeta was a sponsor by the nascar rumble modal...?
I cant find anything on it, Send something in the Discord if you find it!
I love to see how you've taken off. I've gotten into NASCAR TH-cam. I hope I can do the same. Love the content.
Thanks a ton! I just subbed to your channel, make it fun, learn from your own content, and don’t let views or subs dictate your passion. Excited to see some of your stuff!
@@DoglegMediaMatt Thank you! Means a lot. Thank you for the advice!
@@DoglegMediaMatt This is probably a dumb question. How do you include race footage in your videos?
@@TheFastLanewithIsaiah it’s a very complicated process, and a never ending battle with copyright. Join my discord and we can chat there!
@@DoglegMediaMatt I sadly don't have discord.
4:15 yes! someone who agrees!
It’s such a good scheme!
Winner is STP and runner-up is Havoline
f you for spoiling it
@@Thegod_of_memeswell, havoline being second is certainly a hot take haha
@@Thegod_of_memes Is obviously, STP have the king Richard Petty
@@DoglegMediaMatt I already knew who'd be first and I didn't have comments open TH-cam just shows the comments underneath the video before I can even put in full screen
@@Thegod_of_memesyeah, at least STP is fairly obvious. In terms of stats I don’t think Havoline is second, but they are number 1 in my ❤️
Didn’t Jeff Gordon have Quaker state on his car as an associate in 1998??? Why wasn’t that said????
This series is focusing on Primary sponsors
Havoline is the 🐐 no matter what
My heart agrees with you!
Didn't Ryan Blaney win with Pennzoil at the Charlotte Roval in 2018?
They were listed as the secondary. This is extremely confusing. 9/10 the primary is the hood sponsor. Menards was listed as the primary, and they got credit in the home improvement video. Great mention though!
Umm, Casey Atwood???
It wasn’t listed as the primary on the 2 sources I used, but I am getting this comment a lot!
Mobile one is the champ yes I'm biased because I'm Tony Stewart fan so I don't care mobile one is the king.
Fair enough!
@@DoglegMediaMattanyways can you do a video about the history of Beard Motorsports my second favorite team in NASCAR
They're surprisingly an old team that just seems new cuz they've only been in the cup series since 2017 and have been good for a open team.
You forgot Robby Gordon
The first intentional miss in Dogleg history
First STP is not an oil in fact it is about as good as pony piss for your engine . I am unaware of any team that is not using Mobil 1
Well I know for a fact a few use Valvoline and Pennzoil. A team I work for uses Valvoline for instance.
@@DoglegMediaMatt That maybe but I can tell you for sure none of them are on the Hendrick , Gibbs , Penske lease plan .
its interesting how ya ditched the format of the last battle videos, by going just for wins and not talking about each driver they sponsored
Well I only did that for the home improvement one because those brands didn’t have a bunch of unique winners, and it was only 3 brands. For the beer and oil we were looking back on way more brands and way more unique winners. And for only discussing mostly winners, this video was already over 30 minutes haha
What about Lucas Oil Rowdy won with it?
I have it in the video, check the castrol portion
@@DoglegMediaMatt now I noticed it and apologize
U do know most of the cup teams where using royal purple.
I didn’t know that!
12:00 ARGHHHHHHh
Pain
You forgot beard oil :(
Haha that’s a good one!
Jensen Button drove for mobile 1
Casey Atwood drove for Castrol in 2000
Winner: havoline
As a huge Davey fan, I agree!
Mark Martin was the closest Ford driver to win a Championship 🏆 with a Ford rest is history till Joe Lagoon "#22
