Surprising - they had a long association with Quaker State. 87 dealerships means a whole lot of money changing hands.

Yep, after 18 seasons with QS, Valvoline must have made a better offer.

I wonder if QS will go to Roush. It could make plenty of sense since one of their engine customers, Penske Racing, has the Shell/Pennzoil sponsorship. With both teams being in the Ford and SOPUS camps, that could make a good technical partnership on the lubrication end. What do you guys think?

Is there a NexGen racing oil in the future?

I know the head mechanic on one of the Roush cup cars and he told me(June Michigan race) they were using nexgen.

Yes, they use a next gen blend for special racing oils.. But it is a nextgen style blend..

Hendrick was with Valvoline before Q in the early nineties.
