When Road America’s 14-turn, 4.048-mile circuit went “hot” Thursday morning in Wisconsin during the first day of qualifying for the 62nd SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® Presented by Sunoco, lap times counted toward “Sunoco 260 Thursday” results.
Drivers in each class whose best qualifying time came closest to including .260 have now earned 15 gallons of Sunoco race fuel free for their car. Those on the list below should report to the Sunoco fuel truck behind Road America’s Victory Circle.
Sunoco’s 260 race fuel has been highly regarded for years. Sunoco’s 260 GT is a street-legal (in most states), oxygenated, unleaded gasoline designed for high performance street cars, muscle cars, classics, street rods, motorcycles, and the like.
With a 100-octane rating, Sunoco 260 GT allows increased boost levels in supercharged or turbocharged applications as compared to lower octane “pump” gas. It’s engineered to not harm catalytic converters or oxygen sensors, and contains a comprehensive additive package for greater engine protection and reduced fuel system deposits. It’s also compatible with two-stroke synthetic and mineral-based engine oils, and safe for carbureted and fuel injected engines.
As well as being the presenting sponsor of this year’s Runoffs, Sunoco has also been the Official Fuel of SCCA since 2001. The company has been powering victories on and off the track for more than 100 years, which is why Sunoco is trusted to fuel more than 50 series of racing, driving, and winning – including the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, SCCA Pro Racing, SVRA, and NASCAR. Sunoco also kept Thursday’s event running at Road America by fueling volunteers and event staff with food and beverages at lunch.
