Tony Stewart, making his second career Top Fuel start and his first appearance in the NHRA Winternationals, will be celebrating Mobil 1\u2019s 50th anniversary with a black and gold Mobil 1 Dodge\/\/SRT Top Fuel dragster.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t express how excited I am to run the black and gold 50th Anniversary scheme for Mobil 1,\u201d said Stewart. \u201cIt is a huge honor because I\u2019m very passionate about Mobil 1. They\u2019ve been a great partner since we got together in 2011 at Stewart-Haas Racing. They have been a part of everything I have done since then. When we decided to go to the Top Alcohol Dragster ranks last year, they were completely on-board with it. To now be able to move up to Top Fuel with them and help them celebrate their 50th Anniversary is something I\u2019m honored to do and very proud to be a part of. I\u2019m excited to drive the black and gold car, I think it\u2019s going to look great. All Mobil 1 fans will really get into the scheme, so I think it\u2019s going to be a great weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stewart is tied for ninth in the Top Fuel standings, alongside Brittany Force and Clay Millican, trailing leader Shawn Langdon by 93 points. After being eliminated in the first round despite cutting an impressive 0.021 reaction time, Stewart is more than ready to step back into the cockpit for the historic Winternationals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely feel better going into Pomona after getting through Gainesville,\u201d he added. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ll be able to show up and just get to work, instead of worrying about the pomp and circumstance of that opening round and qualifying session.\u201d<\/p>\n
