And there were even more Renegade cans and drums. You have to keep in mind that exclusive race fuel contracts are designed to keep the competition out. That means that the race series/race facility is bound to prevent all other than the designated "official" product from being sold ( or given away) on the property. And that means that all interested parties are on the lookout for any products other than the official brand.
I recall that the former official brand used to look in racer's trailers to be sure no other brand of race fuel was smuggled into the track. A famous Top fuel/Funny Car team was caught with the wrong brand of product in their trailer a few years ago. It's a ridiculous process, but an exclusive contract costs a lot of money, and the official brand is going to make sure they can make every possible dollar back.
