The nine race series will finish on September 26, 2009 in Braselton, GA. Approximately 3,192 gallons of B5 diesel fuel will be used to fuel the diesel race cars as well as the transport trucks and generators throughout the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup Series. “We are extremely pleased to have HYPERFUELS as a partner with the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup series in 2009.

Coming on as a fuel sponsor on the heels of the clean diesel technology announcement by Volkswagen in 2008 makes this a great honor. If we can help take biodiesel power to the next level then everyone wins. Cleaner burning, more power, less emissions, easy access.
