Sunoco offical fuel for 2015
Sunoco gave Nhra a cool 1.2 million to become the official fuel for Nhra in 2015. Better than the 10 million that they give nascar. Right now they have no replacement for C25, I guess they wanted to slow down some of the cars. They also do not have nitro, only vp or Don Schumacher can get nitro into the states. Hope it all works out. Tom

Saw on other sites VP and other brands still will be able to be run in Stock and Super Stock. Problem being if the VP doesn't pass only Sunoco will be available at the track.

Re: Sunoco offical fuel for 2015
I`m ok with it. I`ve never had a problem with Sunoco Purple passing fuel check.

Re: Sunoco offical fuel for 2015
Sunoco should be able to come up with whatever race fuel blends are needed. Renegade and all the other brands currently on the approved list will still be legal.
There are a number of sources for nitro, so that shouldn't be a concern. |

Talked with a VP rep at the nationals at Maple Grove, he said that VP will be at all Divisional events.
