Gaunt Brothers Racing (GBR) and Fuel Doctor USA announced today they will team together in 2011, beginning with this weekend’s NASCAR K&N Pro Series East-West Combination race at the Iowa Speedway. The #75 Fuel Doctor Toyota Camry will be driven by former K&N Pro Series champion and this year’s Toyota NASCAR All-Star Showdown winner Jason Bowles.
Fuel Doctor and their revolutionary FD-47 fuel efficiency booster will be the primary sponsor on all of Gaunt Brothers Racing’s events through the summer, including races north of the border in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
“The relationship with Gaunt Brothers Racing, Triad Racing Technologies and Co-Pilott Motorsports Marketing is one we are really excited about,” said Mark Soffa, President and CEO, Fuel Doctor USA. “We like the varied racing schedule GBR has on tap for 2011 in the states and in Canada; it’s a great opportunity for us to showcase our brand and work strategically to increase Fuel Doctor’s FD-47 footprint at retail.”

Gaunt Brothers Racing is owned by NASCAR veteran Marty Gaunt, principal and CEO of Triad Racing Technologies and former General Manager of Red Bull Racing, Penske Racing and Bill Davis Racing in the Sprint Cup Series.
The goal for his team is to give young, talented drivers like Jason Bowles experience and exposure within the sport, while at the same time compete and win.
“Bringing in a high-profile sponsor like Fuel Doctor is a big boost for our team,” Gaunt said. “We’re going to run a handful of races this year with Jason and it’ll be great to have them on board as a partner. The Fuel Doctor FD-47 product is all about saving fuel and giving its consumers better gas mileage. We are about the same thing in racing, just at a much faster pace, so it’s a natural fit.”
Fuel Doctor Sr. VP of Motorsports, Tanya Hall sees GBR and Bowles as a perfect fit with the brand. “Partnering with a winning team like GBR and a NASCAR Champion like Jason in the Fuel Doctor Motorsports program only strengthens our position within the sport. We will also be announcing a limited schedule of Nationwide races with Bowles this season to add to our multi-series exposure. Our hope is to join both GBR and Bowles in future victories and championships and really promote the effectiveness of the Fuel Doctor FD-47 product.”
Bowles will be making his fifth career start at Iowa Speedway in the K&N Pro Series. In his last two starts he has produced top-5 results, so it’s a track he knows how to get around and be successful.
“The car looks awesome with the Fuel Doctor scheme,” said Bowles, a 10-time K&N Pro Series race-winner. “It’s always cool to have a new sponsor on the car and a new driving suit; rolling off the truck with this – I’m already convinced it’s worth two-tenths just in how good it looks! Plus, the Fuel Doctor FD-47 is a really innovative product, I’m looking forward to working with them and seeing their brand grow.
“Iowa is cool, it’s one of the most raceable tracks in the country. Last time I raced in there I finished second, so I’m going there to take the one step up.”
