Sunoco spent a lot of money to ensure that they were the official fuel of NHRA. And they want to recoup as much of that money as possible.
The profit margin on the higher octane race fuels is larger than the margin on 110. And Comp racers use the higher octane fuels. So if any class that uses higher octane fuels is forced to use only Sunoco, they stand to make more of their investment back. It's the same strategy that VP used.
