From Corporate Comfort to Majority Owner: How Alan Cerwick’s Vision Grew VP Racing Fuels Into A 90 Million Company

Alan Cerwick had a steady rise in his career at Valero Energy and was actively looking for acquisitions for Valero when he scouted San Antonio-based VP Racing Fuels.  While a deal with Valero didn’t pan out, Cerwick joined VP Fuels in 2011 with an option to purchase a majority stake in the company. Today, Cerwick owns that majority stake and is the President of VP Racing Fuels. 

Cerwick has guided VP Fuels through rapid growth with revenues now above 90 million, products sold at 15,000 retail locations and over 200 branded gas stations in 34 states. While Founder Steve Burns gives VP Fuels R&D expertise, Cerwick brings business acumen and has expanded their brand. 

What went into the growth story of VP Racing Fuels? Why is Cerwick’s vision so clear? What triggered his willingness to leave the comfort of his corporate role at Valero and go “all in” with VP? 

Join ACG/Central Texas on June 26th to hear the story of how VP Racing Fuels went from “zero to 60” in seven years.
