SCORE International Confirms New Three Year Alliance with Sunoco as Official Race Fuel Supplier of the SCORE Desert Series.

Following January’s successful season-opening SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge in Southern Nevada, SCORE’s Sal Fish finalized the new agreement, negotiating with Sunoco Sales Manager Mitch Hart to complete the new three-year deal.

"Sunoco has been an integral part of our family of sponsor partners for several years now and it is great for SCORE, our racers and our sport to be able to continue to have them as the SCORE Official Race Fuel Supplier for the next three years,” said Sal Fish, SCORE CEO/President. “When we have great sponsor partners like Sunoco it is in everyone’s best interest to keep them attached to our SCORE Desert Series. Sunoco commands so much respect in the motorsports world and their service is second to none so it is naturally something special for SCORE to continue to be linked with such a superb organization."

For decades, Sunoco’s fuels have been associated with racing excellence.Since the mid-60s, when Sunoco and the Roger Penske Racing Team with Mark Donahue forged what would be a long and successful alliance, the company has grown into an industry powerhouse.
Today, Sunoco has expanded the reach of its racing fuels line around the world to include all types of professional motor sports and other activities where premium race fuels make a difference.
"Sunoco is the world’s leading producer of Race Fuels and we’ve built our reputation on quality and consistency,” said Hart, Sunoco’s Western US and International Sales Manager. “Sunoco is proud of our long and successful partnership with SCORE International. We are looking forward to continued support of SCORE, the premier desert racing organization in the world, through our contingency programs, competitive pricing, and outstanding service."

Sunoco blends every one of its race fuels in-house. Then, it analyzes and tests each batch under strict laboratory conditions. This ensures that racers receive a reliable, high-quality racing gasoline every time.

ANDY McMILLIN Trophy Truck #31 (First in TT class and first overall four-wheel vehicle. Andy started and drove to race mile 206. His father, Scott, drove to RM 500 and Andy drove the final leg.)

Andy said: "I started the race and I think we started 17th on the road. The plan was just to kind of take it easy and kind of let the race come to us. Sal (Fish) laid out a really rough, tough course this year. We knew that it was going to take one trip that didn’t have any problems to get the win. That was our plan all day – stay smooth and not have any downtime, no flat tires. I gave my dad the truck at mile 206 and I think we were seventh on the road and pretty close on the overall lead. My dad drove the San Felipe loop and the Mike’s loop. By the time he got to San Felipe, he was the first truck on the road. My dad handed me a helluva lead, so it was pretty easy. It was kind of just stay on the racecourse and you won’t get in trouble, so that was our plan and we followed it and let the race come to us, really."
