The partnership will provide the Legend and Bandolero drivers, along with the top local drag racers with quality, top-of-the-line racing fuels throughout the season. These fuels will be sold on-site to competitors of both Thursday and Friday night events.
"VP (Racing Fuels) has been a part of motorsports for a long time", said AMS Legends Director Ken Ragan. "A lot of our competitors choose to race with VP Racing Fuels from our Rookie Bandoleros all the way up to our Legends Pro Division."
The Pro Division will pit Thursday Thunder's top drivers against each other in an extended 25-lap showdown beginning just after 9 p.m.
"The Pro Division is our elite group of top racers", said Ken Ragan, "It will be a lot of fun to watch that class compete, and with VP on board, that just makes it that much sweeter."
