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.

Unless you consider Non-Supercharged and Non-Turbocharged Pro Mods low horsepower race cars, then your statement is incorrect.

Non-Supercharged and Non-Turbocharged Pro Mods are allowed to run VP fuel.
