Steve Scheidker - February 6, 2007
SAN ANTONIO, TX (February 6, 2007) VP Racing Fuels, the Official Racing Fuel of NHRA Championship Drag Racing, today announced the extension of their National Top 10 Program for NHRA Sportsmen competitors. With the program, every Top 3 finisher from the 2006 season is eligible to receive from VP Racing 5 gallons of racing fuel at no charge at each national event attended in 2007, while the remaining Top 10 finishers can receive 5 gallons at half price. The program includes every NHRA Sportsman class and any fuel of the racers choice. For Alcohol classes, the 2006 Champion is eligible to receive a 54-gallon drum of VPs M1 Methanol at no charge, while all other Top 10 finishers will receive a drum of M1 for half price at each national event attended.
We know how hard it is just to compete at this level, much less finish near the top, said Steve Burns, VPs President and CEO. So we want to recognize and reward the efforts of competitors who exhibited the dedication and resourcefulness necessary to achieve a Top 10 finish. Competitors should be aware this program will continue next season as well, so the Top 10 finishers from this year can enjoy the fruits of their labor and dedication in 2008. Program participants will still be eligible for VPs contingency awards, of which it has posted more than $287,000 this year across all NHRA classes.
