Officials with VP Racing Fuels announced a retail branding partnership with Andre Hardy, owner and operator of Montauk Native Gas located in Mastic, New York.  

Effective with its reimaging, Hardy’s station will be the first on Long Island to brand with VP as well as the first to distribute VP’s race fuel blends on the island.  The station also co-sponsors an NHRA Funny Car and a Top Alcohol Funny Car team, both of which will provide marketing support for the station and the VP Racing Fuels brand.
 
“We look forward to making VP’s race fuels available to all the performance enthusiasts on Long Island who until now had a difficult time getting access to them.  With our location on the water, we also anticipate supplying a great number of the marinas and boating enthusiasts in the area.

“Our plans include adding a speed shop to our Montauk Native Gas site providing customers with a source for engines, parts and accessories, along with race fuels for their racing needs.  Over time we plan to brand additional stations on Long Island with VP as well,” Hardy said.
 
“We’re thrilled to partner with Andre and his team in what promises to be a perfect marriage of business models,” said Alan Cerwick, President of VP Racing Fuels.  “There are tremendous synergies between Montauk Native Gas, Andre’s racing program and our retail branding program, and by leveraging the strength of the VP Racing Fuels brand, all will benefit greatly.”
