The partnership, which aims to market Exxon's Mobil 1 motor
oil, is one of the first tie-ups between the flagship brand and
a major sports other than motor racing.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The oil giant ran television advertisements during the Rio
Olympics to showcase its work on clean energy amid pressure to
respond to global warming.
