VP Racing Announces Expanded Contingency Program for NHRA

VP Racing Fuels, Inc., The World Leader in Fuel Technology®, is pleased to announce an expanded contingency program for racers competing at all levels in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA).

Launching this week at the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, FL, VP Racing will enhance its contingency program for race fuels and introduce a brand-new contingency program for lubricants.

“When we returned to NHRA with this new ten-year partnership, it wasn’t just about fuel sales—we came back to support racers from top to bottom and to provide the best fuels and lubricants to the entire industry,” said Bruce Hendel, Senior Vice President of Global Sales at VP Racing.

“The NHRA and its racers have been integral to VP Racing’s success since our founding 50 years ago. As we look ahead to the next 50 years, we remain committed to delivering championship-winning lubricants alongside our world-class fuels. We hope racers not only recognize the superior quality of our products but also see our deep investment in their success through this extensive contingency program.”

The VP Racing’s Race Fuel contingency program will be available to all professional and sportsman classes competing in the Mission Foods NHRA National Event Series, as well as the Lucas Oil Divisional Sportsman Series. Racers finishing in first place and as runners-up in their respective classes will be eligible for cash payouts.

Additionally, the newly introduced VP Racing Lubricants contingency program will apply to all NHRA Mission Foods series classes, with the exception of the professional categories: Top Fuel Dragster, Fuel Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Bike, and Pro Mod. This program will also extend to all Lucas Oil Divisional Sportsman Series competitors, rewarding first-place and runner-up finishers with cash prizes.

For more details on the new contingency program as well as terms and conditions, racers are encouraged to contact their NHRA representative. To learn more about VP Racing and its extensive range of products for racers, enthusiasts, and general consumers, visit VPRacingFuels.com.
