Sunoco, the Official Fuel of the NHRA, has been the leader in the racing fuel category for decades, with a reputation built on quality, performance, and support to the racers. In their first year as the spec fuel of the NHRA pro classes, all of those elements have been demonstrated weekly as drivers and riders fueled by Sunoco have broken five national records and 59 individual track records across Top Fuel (TF), Funny Car (FC), Pro Stock (PS) and Pro Stock Motorcycle (PSM).
Just past the halfway point of the season, Larry Dixon (TF at 332.51 mph), Courtney Force (FC at 325.06 mph) and Hector Arana, Jr. (PSM at 199.88 mph) all have set national speed records, while Jason Line (PS at 6.455 sec.) and Jack Beckman (FC at 3.921 sec.) had the quickest elapsed times in the history of their respective categories, and both performances were certified as national records. At least one new track record has been recorded at every national event through Sonoma, a tribute to the consistency of performance that these competitors are finding with Sunoco Race Fuels.
Beyond the performance on the strip, Sunoco is also proud to say that at the halfway point of the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season, based on Sunoco’s competitive pricing, it is estimated that the pro teams have realized more than a quarter of a million dollars in savings on fuel compared to the previous season.
Sunoco Race Fuels are put to the test every time the top drag racers in the world hit the throttle. They trust Sunoco to help them set records and see the win light, and you can too.
