One tip I’ll be sharing that weekend--using Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel economy can deliver up to a 2 percent* fuel economy improvement, which, over the life of a vehicle, can save over $400* in fuel costs,” said Sam Hornish Jr., driver of the No. 77 Dodge.

Hmm Sounds like something I have heard here before about another Oil Brand

Here's some photos of the cars that will be used: billo's itibitismart - sam hornish smart car

"Celebrities such as Dan Patrick and NFL Hall of Famer Dan Hampton will join NASCAR drivers behind the wheels of Mobil 1-branded Smart cars as they drive through a number of challenges in the parking lot of Soldier Field in downtown Chicago"

I took the photos about a week ago at smart Center Bloomfiled / smart USA Headquarters shortly after they were delivered by the wrapper. I gave the photos to Billo to post on his smart web site.

Enjoy

Here are some pictures from the event, last part kind of got rained out, but my son got autographs from Kyle Petty, Kurt Busch, David Stremme, and Sam Hornish Jr.

Will they be running this in advance of all NASCAR events for a while?

Not sure, probably best to keep an eye on the Penske Racing web site. They update it before each race, and it should say there. They did not say anything at the event about future events.

If they do, then we can say Penske is finaly advertising the smart in the US.

No, just "Mobil 1"

Then free advertising for Penske paid for by one of his sponsors, how sweet is that?

Sweet would be a giant billboard. I see no "smart" billboards and I'm not talking about the fancy new LED bill boards that change their ads every few seconds.
