Sunoco Race Fuel's Bill Joyner Receives NASCAR® Buddy Shuman Award

Longtime NASCAR Fuel Manager Honored for Commitment to Success of Cup Racing

Southfield, Michigan, December 4, 2014.Bill Joyner, fuel manager for Sunoco Race Fuel, the "Official fuel of NASCAR®," was presented the prestigious Buddy Shuman Award during the annual NMPA Myers Brothers Awards Luncheon today in Las Vegas. Joyner is the 58th recipient of the award, established in memory of early NASCAR Grand National Series driver and technical inspector Louis Grier "Buddy" Shuman.

Presented annually by the iconic Champion® Spark Plug brand of Federal-Mogul Motorparts, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation FDML, the Shuman award recognizes individuals and organizations that have played vital roles in the continued growth of professional stock car racing. Past recipients have included Bill France Sr., Richard Petty, Rick Hendrick, Richard Childress, Ken Squier and several other of the sport's biggest names.

Joyner and Sunoco for decades have been associated with product and service excellence at the world's premier racetracks. Joyner works closely with every team in NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series competition and is a trusted partner to team owners, engine builders, crew chiefs and drivers at virtually every level of the sport.

Sunoco has been a major player in racing since the 1960s and was selected as the "Official Fuel of NASCAR" in 2004. The company provides racing gasoline for every Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series event and distributes its products to more than 500 U.S. racetracks.

"The Buddy Shuman Award is one of the sport's most prestigious honors, not only because of Buddy's popularity in NASCAR's formative years, but because past recipients have included many of the most influential figures in racing history. Bill Joyner is truly one of the unsung heroes of Cup racing and well deserving of this honor," said Michael Proud, director of marketing, North America, Federal-Mogul Motorparts.

Buddy Shuman was one of NASCAR racing's first stars - a talented driver, a dedicated proponent of the sport and a figure loved and respected by those who came into contact with him. He died tragically in a hotel fire at the height of his career.
