DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (February 4, 2026) — Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, announced today that VP Racing Fuels, Inc. will continue as the Official Fuel Supplier of Progressive AFT for the 2026 season. This marks the seventh consecutive year of collaboration, underscoring the strength and longevity of the partnership.

“The partnership we’ve built with VP Racing Fuels, Inc. over the past seven seasons has been exceptional,” said Gene Crouch, CEO of AMA Pro Racing. “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.”

For 2026, Progressive AFT will transition to VP Racing’s T4+ as the spec fuel for the entire series. Replacing the C10 racing fuel used in previous years, T4+ offers a triple advantage for competitors: it lowers costs for race teams, delivers premium performance, and is widely available at powersports dealerships across the country. Designed for stock or modified 4‑stroke engines, T4+ also provides riders with improved throttle response and up to 2% more power over T4 — benefits that align closely with the demands of flat track competition. This shift further connects the high‑performance world of professional flat track with everyday riders by aligning competition fuel with a product available nationwide.

“VP Racing Fuels, Inc. is excited to continue our partnership with American Flat Track,” said Bruce Hendel, senior vice president of VP Racing Fuels, Inc. “Introducing T4+ will offer better performance and easier access for competitors, thanks to its availability at powersports dealers across the country.”

Since 1975, VP Racing Fuels, Inc. has powered more winners across two and four wheels than any other brand. Now celebrating more than 50 years as the World Leader in Fuel Technology®, the company continues to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to innovation and to the growth of Progressive American Flat Track.
