In a press release issued today, MotoAmerica has announced Sunoco Racing Fuel as the spec fuel supplier for the nine-round series which gets underway at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, April 9-12.

All five MotoAmerica classes – Superbike, Superstock 1000, Supersport, Superstock 600 and KTM RC390 Cup – will use Sunoco’s 94-octane RMR racing fuel.

“We’re happy to have Sunoco as the exclusive provider of high-quality racing fuels for all five of our classes,” said MotoAmerica President and three-time 500cc World Champion Wayne Rainey.

“Sunoco is excited to continue our support of motorcycle road racing in the U.S.,” said Terry Thompson, Senior Sales Manager, Sunoco Race Fuels. “We feel strongly that the loss of this venue would be devastating for many fans as well as the competing teams and we were very happy to see MotoAmerica pick up the torch and continue this valuable and exciting sport. Sunoco is proud to be the official fuel of MotoAmerica and we are thrilled to work with their management team as well as the riders and teams that make this sport so exciting.”
