Mobil Delvac is sponsoring The Grascals, and they have recorded a jingle for the Mobil Delvac brand. The Mobil Delvac team unveiled the year-long sponsorship September, 28, 2009, at a media luncheon kicking off the 20th Annual International Bluegrass Music Awards in Nashville, TN.

The Grascals will tour the country in their Mobil Delvac branded tour bus, which will be filled with Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40, a high performance diesel engine oil formulated to help extend engine life in on-highway and off-highway applications.  The tour bus will have oil analysis sampling and testing done on a regular basis.

“Throughout the more than 80 year history of our flagship Mobil Delvac brand of heavy duty engine oils, we have always strived to find exciting ways to show our appreciation for our customers, who include hardworking truckers, agriculture professionals, construction contractors and landscapers,” said Marci Crigger, commercial vehicle lubricants marketing advisor, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Petroleum Specialties Company, a division of Exxon Mobil Corporation. “We are proud to announce the launch of our partnership with the award winning, critically acclaimed band, The Grascals, and look forward to extending the Mobil Delvac brand’s legacy for recognizing and showing appreciation to its customers.”

As part of the sponsorship, the band will also make several appearances at corporate events, industry events and retail locations.

The Grascals began their career in 2004, when they recorded their debut album and were invited by Dolly Parton to open her fall tour. They have since shared the stage with many of country music’s most beloved artists, including, Brooks & Dunn, Dierks Bentley, Patty Loveless, Charlie Daniels, Kenny Rogers, and Vince Gill.

In 2008, The Grascals were recognized by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America with several awards, including Instrumental Group of the Year and Bluegrass Band of the Year. The Grascals are the 2007 International Bluegrass Music Association's Entertainers of the Year.
