VP Extends Contingency Program For IHRA
Steve Scheidker - April 14, 2008
 Pittsburgh Raceway Park, recently named site of the 2009 IHRA Nitro Jam National Event, has named VP Racing Fuels as their Official Fuel. Drums and pails of VP's popular drag racing formulas are in stock and ready to race.
"We're really pleased the Tedesco family chose VP," said Jim Kelly, VP’s Regional Manager. “It's my understanding there was a tremendous amount of consideration taken in reaching their decision and both management and their racers felt choosing VP was best for PRP."
“We’re the Official Racing Fuel of NHRA,” Kelly continued, “and this move illustrates how VP is the fuel of choice for drag racers, regardless of NHRA, IHRA or any other sanction. We make power—consistent power—and that's what racers want and deserve." As the Official Fuel of Pittsburgh Raceway Park, VP will provide VP110 racing fuel for on-site sales at all of PRP’s events.
“We’re excited to bring VP on board as our Official Fuel, given its well-deserved reputation for quality products and unsurpassed service,” said J.W. Bumbarger, PRP’s Director of Marketing and Promotions. “VP demonstrated a sincere commitment to support PRP and our future growth objectives.”
Pittsburgh Raceway Park is a ¼-mile IHRA-sanctioned drag strip that draws from Ohio, New York and West Virginia. The track has ambitious growth plans, including the addition of a shifter kart track and supercross track, as well as a water park.
VP Racing is the Official Racing Fuel of NHRA Championship Drag Racing and American Drag Racing League (ADRL) as well as sponsor of NMRA (National Mustang Racing Association) and NMCA (National Muscle Car Association) among many other series.
VP Racing has been manufacturing the best fuels for motorsports since 1975, currently producing almost 70 unique blends. VP’s fuels have earned a reputation for superior power and consistency, illustrated by the NHRA Pro Stock Champions who have made VP their fuel of choice for 32 consecutive years.
In addition to fuels, VP’s product line includes specialty lubricants, performance chemicals and traction compounds – each designed to produce the most power and best performance in their respective racing applications. More information can be obtained from VP’s website – vpracingfuels.com.
