Today, Sunoco has expanded the reach of its race fuels around the world to include all types of professional motorsports and other activities where premium race fuels make a difference.
In the US, Sunoco is the official fuel of NASCAR. Winning on today’s racing circuit requires more than an exceptional driver and a well-built car. It takes high-performance racing fuels that are able to go the distance – fuels like those produced by Sunoco.
As the largest manufacturer and refiner of racing fuels in the world, Sunoco offers drivers more choice than ever.
Sunoco blends every one of its race fuels in-house, then analyses and tests each batch under strict laboratory conditions. This ensures that you receive a reliable, high-quality gasoline every time.

Sunoco Challenge
The Sunoco Challenge was first established in 2009 and is now the prize to win in European motorsport. We run two Challenges – the Sunoco Whelen Challenge, which provides a race seat in the Rolex 24 At Daytona; and the Sunoco 240 Challenge, which provides a race seat in a GT4 car in the 4-hour support race on the Friday before the Rolex 24. In total over 1,200 racers have participated from the inception of the Sunoco Whelen and 240 Challenges. The highest profile winner so far is ex Sauber F1 racer Felipe Nasr who finished 3rd in the 2012 Rolex 24 with Mike Shank Racing.
Racers compete against each other through an averaging points system based on the number of cars in their class and overall pace. If there are 10 or more racers in each class a win nets 100 points, a second place nets 85 points, all the way down to 5 points for tenth. In addition 20 points are awarded for pole position, and a further 20 points for the fastest lap. All points are then averaged over the their whole championship season and the highest average score wins!
