R-Tech Fuels Attack Kawasaki’s Steve Rapp to Daytona 200 Win March 16, 2007

Attack Kawasaki rider Steve Rapp took his R-Tech Racing Fuels powered ZX-6R to dominating victory in the Daytona 200. The Daytona 200 was the first race that matched Attack Kawasaki with R-Tech’s latest generation of racing fuels.

“I can not get over how excited I am for Attack Racing and riders Steve Rapp and Ben Attard. I have always admired the work ethic and performance of Richard Stanboli and the Attack Racing crew. This is our first season to work with them and what a way to start,” said Gary Ricci owner of R-Tech Racing Fuels. “I’m delighted that the benefits the team realized in off season testing of the AMA legal Pro v.1 fuel assisted in the results of the Daytona 200.”

This was a first time win on a number of fronts, the first 200 victory for a ZX-6R, the first time an R-Tech fueled bike won the Daytona 200, and it was Rapp’s first win with his new team.

“The bike was fast, the tires were good, and the team pulled out some great pit stops,” said Rapp. “To win at Daytona, that’s what you need. It feels great to not only win, but to be able to reward your team for the time they invest in you. You need sponsors like R-Tech to get on the top step, they really came through for the team.”

Rapp’s teammate Ben Attard finished a close second with an impressive performance, giving R-tech and Kawasaki their first ever one two finish in the Daytona 200.

In a race where fuel consumption and dependability is at the core or any team’s race strategy Attack Performance owner and team manager Richard Stanboli added, “Our mileage was spot on and our bikes were fast! We were able to run the R-Tech fuel leaner and save mileage compared to the guys that used the other fuels. Furthermore, the fuel has been really easy on our engines and fuel pumps. This is what we needed to win an extended race like the Daytona 200.”
