VP Racing Invests in 1.5 MW Solar Expansion at the Facilities Behind Stay Frosty and VP Madditive

Source: VP Racing Fuels Press Releases (September 30, 2026)

VP Racing has announced a 1.5 MW solar energy deployment across its Texas and Tennessee manufacturing and blending facilities, which the company describes as one of the largest infrastructure investments in its history. Those are the same plants where VP's non-fuel product lines are produced and packaged: coolants including Stay Frosty, additives under the VP Madditive label, lubricants, and traction compounds.

For shops and race teams buying these products in volume, the relevant detail is operational, not environmental. A major capital commitment to the production infrastructure signals that VP intends to keep these lines running at scale. That matters when you are stocking a shop or outfitting a fleet and need a vendor whose supply chain is not going to contract around a product you've built a service workflow around.

Stay Frosty: What Shops Are Actually Buying

VP Racing Stay Frosty Race Ready Coolant is a purpose-formulated racing coolant designed for high-load thermal environments. It is non-glycol and non-corrosive, which makes it legal at most road courses and closed tracks that prohibit ethylene glycol (a slipping hazard on track surfaces). For a shop running a race team or servicing track-day customers, that compliance point is non-negotiable. You cannot run standard antifreeze-based coolant at many facilities regardless of its thermal performance.

Stay Frosty is available here in two bulk-friendly formats:

• 64 oz bottles, case of 4
• 1-gallon jugs, case of 4 at $105.00 per case

The gallon format reduces per-fill labor and is the practical choice for shops doing volume coolant changes or filling multiple cars per event weekend.

VP Madditive: Additive Line From the Same Production Network

The same Texas and Tennessee facilities produce VP's Madditive additive products. If your shop stocks octane booster for pump-gas customers or track-day clients who need a bump without switching fuel entirely, the VP Madditive Octanium Unleaded Octane Booster in quart cans, case of 8 is available at $152.00 per case. That works out to $19.00 per quart at case quantity, a workable margin for a service counter add-on.

Why Supply Infrastructure News Is Worth Tracking

Most buyers do not follow vendor capital announcements, but they should. When a manufacturer ties significant investment to a specific production site, it generally indicates that the product lines running through that site are core to the business going forward, not candidates for rationalization or outsourcing. VP's solar commitment at the plants producing Stay Frosty and VP Madditive is that kind of signal.

The inverse is also worth understanding: vendors that are not investing in their production infrastructure are the ones more likely to face supply disruptions, quality inconsistencies, or line discontinuations. Buying from a vendor actively expanding its plant capacity is a lower-risk position for any shop that wants predictable restocking.
