Racing Oil Tapestries
Description: PRX Racing Oil was one of many Penn Drake branded petroleum products produced by the Pennsylvania Refining Company from the mid-'40s through the late '60s. Penn Drake takes its name from the Drake Well in Pennsylvania, a 69'-foot-deep oil well in Cherrytree Township, Venango County, the success of which sparked the first oil boom in the United States. Drilled by Edwin Drake in 1859 along the banks of Oil Creek, it is the first commercial oil well in the United States and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. The well is the centerpiece of the Drake Well Museum located 3 miles south of Titusville.
Description: D-A Speed Sport Racing Oil hit the market in the early '60s as an alternative to traditional motor oils that just weren't up to the high performance applications of motorsports. From drag racing to grand prix, Speed Sport Racing Oil's specialty formulation stood up to high RPM, high horsepower applications race after race.

The company has covered lots of events, including 2006's Dinoco 400 for the Piston Cup.

Description: Based in the town of Norphlet in Union County, Arkansas, Macmillan Oil Company began producing their Ring Free line of motor oils in 1923. The company was highly successful in promoting their products through sponsorships of motorsports ranging from flat track motorcycle racing and powerboats, to air racing and grand prix events, leveraging them to make their 'race proven' claims. Ring Free products continued to be popular throughout the '60s and '70s, but in as more high-tech formulas from new companies arrived in the '80s, Macmillan Oil Company's fortunes began to wane, and by the end of the decade, they had ceased operations.
