VP Racing Fuels Announces NHRA “Top 10” Program
Steve Scheidker - February 29, 2008
SAN ANTONIO, TX (February 29, 2008) – VP Racing Fuels, the Official Racing Fuel of NHRA Championship Drag Racing, announced the extension of its “National Top 10 Program” for NHRA Sportsmen competitors. With the program, the top finisher from the 2007 season is eligible to receive from VP five gallons of racing fuel at no charge at each national event attended in 2008, while the remaining Top 10 finishers can receive five gallons at half price. The program includes every NHRA Sportsman class and any fuel of the racer’s choice. For Alcohol classes, the 2007 Champion is eligible to receive a 54-gallon drum of VP’s 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 to compete at this level, much less finish near the top,” said Steve Burns, VP’s President and CEO. “So we want to recognize and reward the efforts of competitors who exhibit 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 2009.”
Program participants will still be eligible for VP’s contingency awards, of which it has posted more than $284,000 this year across all NHRA classes.
