Race-Winning Fuel,
Batch After Batch

Racers need a fuel that maintains consistent quality from batch to batch, ensuring reliable performance throughout the racing season.

The pioneers

of racing fuel

The Inventors of Custom Racing Fuel
Before Sunoco, racers had to rely on traditional street gas. 
We changed that forever. Starting in the 1960s, we created the first custom-blended racing fuels designed specifically for high-performance engines—inventing the category that racing professionals now rely on.

The Partnership That Changed Racing
When we teamed with Roger Penske Racing and Mark Donohue in the mid-1960s, we didn't just sponsor a team—we pioneered a new approach to racing fuel. Together, we developed precision-blended fuels that delivered consistent power and protection, race after race, creating the foundation for modern racing fuel technology. 

Trusted by Champions for 50+ Years
From our groundbreaking partnership with Penske Racing to today, Sunoco has been the choice of winners. Our fuels have powered victories in every major racing series: NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA, SCCA, Grand-Am, and IMSA. We don't just follow racing—we lead it.

At Durham Racing Engines, we use the new DXP blend in our dirt late model engines. We have done extensive testing now for 2 years and hands down nothing compares to it. When we tear an engine down after 1,200 - 1,500 laps with it, the engines look better than they ever have. Everything we measure that is a result of detonation looks better than other fuels we have tested out there.
