Mobil 1, the world's leading synthetic motor oil, is offering motorsports fans a chance to earn their 30 seconds of fame. The "Show Your Mobil 1" challenge invites racing fans to show the world how they feel about Mobil 1 and NASCAR by creating a commercial expressing the strong connection between NASCAR and the official motor oil of the motorsport. The winner gets to see his or her commercial on national television during a NASCAR event, and finalists speed away with hefty prizes as well. But you gotta act fast, because the deadline to enter your video is MONDAY, August 31, 2009.

Anyone with a video camera and a bit of creativity is encouraged to enter and take a shot at seeing their idea on television. There's plenty to compete for - the grand-prize winner will be awarded a viewing party to celebrate the airing of the commercial, as well as an all-expenses-paid trip to a 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

This contest is divided into two stages:  the video uploading period and the voting period.
