BRASELTON, Georgia — In a multi-year agreement, VP Racing Fuels has been named Official Fuel of Lanier National Speedway and the Georgia Asphalt Series (GAS), according to Terry Roberts, General Manager of both entities. With the agreement, VP will be Lanier’s exclusive supplier of race fuels including VP110 in bulk, while VP’s C12, VP113, 2BBL, Late Model Plus and other popular blends will be available at the track in pails or drums. These specialty fuels are also available to road racers, who are welcome to purchase VP fuels at Lanier when competing at nearby Road Atlanta.
As Official Fuel of GAS, VP110 has been selected as the exclusive spec fuel for the series and as such, will be available for purchase on site at each GAS event. The GAS series plans a 12-race schedule in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
“I’ve wanted to bring VP on line at Lanier for some time, so when the opportunity presented itself I jumped on it,” said Roberts. “I’m also confident our GAS racers will appreciate the quality and consistency they’ll experience with VP110. I’ve known and respected VP’s founder, Steve Burns, and the VP brand since its inception. I’ve also enjoyed working with VP’s Tommy Chapman, a long-time friend who I’m confident will uphold VP’s tradition for quality and service.”
“VP is excited about our new partnerships with Lanier National Speedway and the GAS series,” said Tommy Chapman, VP’s Regional Manager-Southeast. “Terry Roberts has been a friend and supporter of VP for many years. He’s a well respected General Manager at Lanier and the GAS series will continue to grow under his leadership.”
