VP RACING FUELS NAMED OFFICIAL FUEL OF CAN-AM GRAND NATIONAL CROSS COUNTRY SERIES
MORGANTOWN, WV (February 23, 2010) – Racer
Productions, producers of the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series, is excited to announce that VP Racing Fuels is the Official
Fuel of GNCC Racing under a three-year agreement beginning with the
2010 season.
“VP
has long been a leader in the motorcycling industry and we are happy to
introduce them as our new fuel sponsor for the 2010 season,” said Dean
Van Leeuwen, GNCC sponsor coordinator. “Many of our racers are already
familiar with the increased power and consistency of VP fuels and we’re confident they’ll appreciate having VP’s products readily available at the track.”
VP
will have fuel available on site at all 13 rounds, including its new
U4.4, MRX01 and C12, along with other VP specialty blends. VP will
kick off its sponsorship this weekend at the Parts Unlimited River
Ranch GNCC at the Westgate River Ranch GNCC in Lake Wales, Florida.
"We’re thrilled about partnering with GNCC," said Steve Scheidker, VP's Director of Marketing and Communications. "VP
has been a strong supporter of motorcycle and ATV racing for many
years, fueling numerous championships across North America and around
the world, so it’s a natural fit for VP to be the Official Fuel of GNCC
Racing.”
“The
nation's premier off-road series, GNCC provides the perfect venue for
VP to promote its leading edge fuels, in particular its newest blend
for powersports—U4.4,” Scheidker
added. “U4.4 offers up to 6% more power than premium pump gas, better
throttle response and more resistance to heat, offering the biggest
gain vs. cost of any performance part a GNCC competitor can put on a
bike or ATV."
