Linwood, PA (January 3, 2012) - Sunoco Race Fuels is pleased to

regional drivers in the industry along with sponsoring several
racing series including the “Official Fuel” of the Lucas Oil

100, Sunoco North/South 100 along with winning the Lucas Oil

are a great company and have supported dirt late model racing
forever. I’ve known Russ Bradford and the guys at Bazell Race
Fuels for a while now and they have been good friends. I’m
looking forward to defending my championship on the Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series in 2012 and hopefully bring Sunoco
another series title”, stated Jimmy Owens.
Team Sunoco drivers were victorious all over the country in
2011. Sunoco is also proud to be associated with Rick Eckert in
