Rush fuel. What a frigging joke. Who's brand are they buying then slapping a rush sticker on a drum ? Yea there all for the racer. Don't get your hands dirty and profit,profit,profit.

Racing is a business. It amazes me how many people think it should be a non-profit. I'm not saying I agree with Rush branded fuel or anything, but to say what they're doing is out of the norm in the racing business would be dishonest.

 

If Chuck can make himself some money on the whole deal, more power to him. I hope he makes a ton of money.

I can not speak on Behalf of Rush or Vikki & Mike but I will say this , this will curb the added expense of being forced to run oxygenated fuels to keep up , meaning it is proven on a dyno that it makes more power .... This will curb the need to buy exotic chemical blends that do cost more . And I will also say , I got a few drums of the "newest , Bad assed " fuel on the planet , available at the time ... It sort of bothered me when I saw what it did to the rubber lines & o-rings and seals . And it came with a "special" warning label about how toxic it is .... Moral of the story here is , without a rule like this ..... The envelope can and will be pushed for eternity , in cost and danger level . I don't know about anyone else , but I'm not trying to get Health issues down the road , just because I wanted to go a tenth or two faster

I agree Chuck, not to mention is much much cheaper. I think it's a good thing, but as always people try to only highlight the negative.

Couldn't agree more. We were switching back to regular fuel for.this season anyhow cause we all hated messing with the crate fuel it was nasty sh!t

This change would save my team over $1000 in race fuel in 2016. I can't see how that is a bad thing, we ran Ratman it was easy to deal with but a pain to get when you ran short. This stuff will be everywhere.

You could probably save a lot more money if you didn't have some dipshit driving for you

Just saw that USAC and Purdue University have developed a  quick chemical test that can detect tire softening chemicals and any other banded chemicals in fuel,oil or coolant. They have tested it and found 15 percent of the tires tested were doctored.
