The company is producing the exclusive scent in limited quantities, and consumers can’t buy it, they can only win it by following Sunoco Racing on Facebook.

Burnt Rubbèr TV commercials starring NASCAR’s Jimmie Johnson, IndyCar’s Graham Rahal and NHRA’s Courtney Force are now live on EssenceOfRacing.com and are airing during key races for each sanction.
