JOE GIBBS DRIVEN JOINS MYSTT PREMIUM VODKA F1000 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

 
GREEN BAY, WIS. (March 8, 2011) – Joe Gibbs Driven line of racing lubricants has joined the Mystt Premium Vodka F1000 National Championship presented by George Dean Racing Engines and Taylor Race Engineering as a contingency sponsor. A case of Joe Gibbs Driven racing oil valued at $180.00 will be awarded to drivers registered in the Mystt Premium Vodka F1000 National Championship through four random drawings during the 2011 racing season. In addition, one case of Joe Gibbs Driven racing oil will be awarded to the Championship winner.

Joe Gibbs Driven products are provided by American Spirit Racing, a participating team in the Mystt Premium Vodka F1000 National Championship. “We are very proud to offer Joe Gibbs Driven products to the road racing community,” stated Jon Lewis, General Manager of American Spirit Racing. “Joe Gibbs Driven is a line of products specially formulated for racing applications and offer the highest protection available.”
"Jon Lewis and his team at American Spirit Racing have been big supporters of the Mystt F1000 Championship and this announcement  proves his commitment to the series and the class," according to series Director Mike Beauchamp.

Joe Gibbs Driven Oil is formulated specifically for racing engines. A recent camshaft company Technical Bulletin said it best, "Today's engine oil is just not the same as it used to be, thanks to the ever tightening environmental regulations."

Today's passenger car motor oils are formulated to be compatible with your street car's emission control equipment, and Federal EPA requirements have led to a reduction in formulated anti-wear chemistries like Zinc, Phosphorus and Sulfur in API rated engine oils. As a result, the oil you buy today is not the same as it was 10 years ago. While this is good for your street car, it is bad news for your racing engine.

Racing engines see more RPM, higher loads and increased temperatures compared to street engines, so a racing engine requires higher levels of Zinc, Phosphorus, Sulfur and other additives to prevent premature part failure. Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil contains all of the correct additives, like Zinc, Phosphorus and Sulfur in addition to the highest quality base oils to protect your engine.
