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.

I`m ok with it. I`ve never had a problem with Sunoco Purple passing fuel check.

They have to cover the million+ dollars they paid NHRA.

Re: Sunoco offical fuel for 2015
I would think they already pay NASCAR more than they're paying NHRA.

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. |

Re: Sunoco offical fuel for 2015
I just bought my years supply of Sunoco standard and it was $432 with tax for 55 gal. The same exact price as last year. Roundy round shops seem to be the only ones that stock and supply sealed barrels in my area, since they sell large quantities that helps us.

Re: Sunoco offical fuel for 2015
I stated in another thread Sunoco is the official fuel of IHRA and as I recall a gallon of purple at US 131 was reasonably priced around 8 bucks a gallon. I am tired of buying $12-14 dollar a gallon fuel anyway.
