IGNITE High Performance Ethanol, based in Central Indiana, is a leading supplier and manufacturer  of high performance ethanol fuel, specially formulated for high performance and racing applications perfect for competition in UMP Modifieds, Stock Cars, and other racing divisions.  IGNITE Racing Fuel is ethanol, so it burns cleaner—which is better for engines and the environment. It’s a cooler-burning fuel, which also extends the life of engines, and, most importantly, IGNITE provides more torque and power for the speed racers demand.  IGNITE High Performance Ethanol not only delivers high performance gains and reduction in engine wear, but also can provide a substantial cost savings.  Visit www.igniteracingfuel.com to learn more about how American made ethanol based racing fuels can benefit your racing program.
 
The Montpelier Motor Speedway, which began racing in 1903 and hosted its first automobile race in 1915, is one of America’s oldest remaining racing facilities. While the east central Indiana ¼ mile clay oval has a historic past, the facility has seen many major modern upgrades the past four seasons including new restrooms and bleachers along with the addition of many safety features such as a new catch fence system along with a new front stretch wall, lighting system, transponder scoring, and corner runoff areas. The Montpelier Motor Speedway commonly competes weekly on Saturday Nights with its popular Modified and Stock Car divisions and is also the host to the popular Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget series. The Montpelier Motor Speedway serves as a host for USAC National Sprint Cars, USAC Indiana Midget Week, MSCS Sprint Cars, NRA Sprint Invaders, and BOSS Sprint Cars.  The Montpelier Motor Speedway is also the proud host of the popular IGNITE Ethanol 40 held in the fall for UMP Modifieds.
