Ethanol powering United States Auto Club racing

Share:
Ignite Racing Fuel, a 100 percent American-made ethanol-based fuel, is now the Official Racing Fuel of the United States Auto Club, according to a news release posted on the USARacing website. This adds to the many racing series who have adopted ethanol as their fuel -- from NASCAR to IndyCar to boating.


"Specially formulated solely for high compression, high horsepower, off road applications and ethanol equipped fuel systems, Ignite products range from 108 to 114 octane of pure American POWER, for substantial cost savings compared to foreign petroleum based racing fuels. With the cooling effects of the alcohol in ethanol and the clean burning nature of a biofuel, Ignite is the natural choice for speed and longer engine life," the release about Ignight said.

Kevin Miller, USAC president/CEO, noted that Ignite Racing Fuels have proven during testing to have a 40 percent reduction in consumption, which translates to savings for racing participants without compromising performance. "It’s great to have an alternative which not only serves the environment but also the budgets of our competitors and offers a safer racing atmosphere," he said.

Ignight is produced by National Biofuels Distribution of Carmel, Ind.
