VP Racing Fuels Named
Official Fuel of Can-Am Grand National Cross
Country Series
Morgantown, W.Va. (February 24, 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 nations' 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."
