“It’s great to have Red Line come on as our primary sponsor for Richmond,” said McDowell, who has 54 Nationwide Series starts with a career-best finish of 6th. “We have been running Red Line Oil products in our #81 Dodge Challenger all year, so I can’t wait to drive this new Red Line Oil paint scheme under the lights Friday night.”
Friday’s race features NASCAR’s new Car of Tomorrow for the Nationwide Series, with fan-friendly body styles that more closely resemble today’s road cars. The new race cars also feature the safety developments found in the latest Sprint Cup cars of similar design.
“Michael has run well at Richmond in the past, so we are looking forward to a solid finish and hopefully even more,” said Cameron Evans, Red Line Oil’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “The team has been running our 30WT Race Oil in their Ernie Elliott-built engines all year with solid power and great wear. Helping this smaller team to compete with the Cup regulars at Richmond and possibly more often in the future is great for our company, our dealers, and the fans.”
McDowell’s career features success all over the racing map, including multiple starts in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, ChampCar, and Grand Am, plus IKF and WKA karting championships, and 2nd place in the ARCA Series in 2007. McDowell is a Glendale, AZ, native who now lives in the Charlotte-area with wife Jami and son Christopher.
