DAYTONA BEACH, FL – On February 5, 2026, Progressive American Flat Track, licensed by AMA Pro Racing, confirmed that VP Racing Fuels, Inc. will continue as the Official Fuel Supplier for the 2026 season. Marking the seventh consecutive year of partnership, this renewal highlights a durable relationship benefiting both the racing series and its competitors. The American Flat Track Fuel provided by VP Racing Fuels remains integral to powering the championship’s motorcycles.
Transition to VP Racing’s New T4+ Fuel for Improved Performance and Accessibility
For 2026, Progressive American Flat Track will adopt VP Racing Fuels’ T4+ as the spec fuel throughout the series, replacing the previously used C10 racing fuel. T4+ offers multiple advantages: it reduces costs for race teams, enhances engine performance, and is accessible through powersports dealerships nationwide. Tailored for both stock and modified four-stroke engines, T4+ delivers better throttle response and up to two percent more power compared to the earlier T4 formula. This upgrade not only supports the demands of professional flat track racers but also bridges competition fuel with products readily available to everyday riders.
Leaders Highlight the Strength and Impact of the Ongoing Partnership
Gene Crouch, CEO of AMA Pro Racing, expressed strong support for the collaboration, saying,
“The partnership we’ve built with VP Racing Fuels, Inc. over the past seven seasons has been exceptional. Their commitment to our series and to the paddock is unwavering, and it continues to make a meaningful impact on our sport. We’re excited to carry that momentum into 2026 and look forward to another successful year working alongside the VP team.”
Bruce Hendel, senior vice president of VP Racing Fuels, also emphasized the importance of the partnership:
“VP Racing Fuels, Inc. is excited to continue our partnership with American Flat Track. Introducing T4+ will offer better performance and easier access for competitors, thanks to its availability at powersports dealers across the country.”
