VP RACING FUEL EXTENDS SPEC FUEL AGREEMENT WITH RALLY AMERICA

WILLISTON, VT — Officials with Rally America, the premier sanctioning body for performance rally racing in the United States, renewed an agreement with VP Racing Fuel of San Antonio, Texas that will extend technical expertise and fuel delivery for Rally America national events through 2016.

The world-renowned racing fuel manufacturer will continue to serve as the "Official Fuel of the Rally America National Championship." VP Racing Fuel's Rally Max, MS100 and MS109E racing fuels have been designated the spec fuels for Rally America's Open Class for 2014.

"I am pleased to continue the VP Racing Fuel relationship," said Bill Fogg, Sr, CEO of Rally America, Inc. "Our rally teams have benefited from having a level playing field and having consistency in the development of their engines. VP Racing Fuel is a valuable resource in technical expertise and providing fuel at our events located in some of the more remote parts of the country."

Rally America and VP Racing Fuel's longstanding relationship began in January 2011 with VP Racing Fuel's presence at each round of the Rally America National Championship. The rally market proved to be viable and a conversation with various teams initiated to discuss the addition of a spec fuel for the Rally America classes the following year.

VP Racing Fuel will continue to provide the 2014 Rally America National Championship season with fuel delivered at the following national events:
