Cyclum NextGen Travel Centers Continues with Phillips 66 for Historic Snowball Derby

Key Terms

renewable diesel technical

Renewable diesel is a liquid fuel made from plant oils, animal fats, or other biological feedstocks that is processed into a chemically similar form to petroleum diesel so it can be used in existing engines, pipelines and fuel stations. Investors care because it often sells at a premium, benefits from government incentives or carbon-credit programs, and can change demand for traditional refining capacity and feedstock markets, affecting company revenues and margins.

cng technical

Compressed natural gas (CNG) is natural gas that has been pressurized to occupy less space so it can be used as a vehicle fuel or stored for later use, similar to how a bicycle pump compresses air into a small container. Investors watch CNG because it affects demand for energy, fuel infrastructure and vehicle fleets, and can shift costs and emissions profiles for companies in transport, logistics and utilities, influencing profitability and regulatory risk.

ev fast charging technical

EV fast charging is a high-power way to recharge electric vehicles that delivers a large amount of energy in a short time, similar to filling a car with gas quickly instead of topping up slowly at home. For investors, it matters because fast chargers influence how convenient EVs are to use, drive demand for charging networks and locations, affect grid and battery wear considerations, and create revenue and infrastructure investment opportunities tied to adoption and traffic patterns.

hydrogen technical

Hydrogen is the lightest chemical element and a colorless gas used to store and move energy and as a raw material in industry; think of it like a rechargeable fuel cartridge or a carrier that can deliver energy where electricity or oil might not be practical. It matters to investors because scaling up production, infrastructure and clean technologies could reshape energy markets, create new industries, and shift returns based on costs, regulations and adoption — similar to investing in the rails and stations of a new transport network.

PENSACOLA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cyclum NextGen Travel Centers is proud to return to the historic Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway with its driver Kole Raz for the most iconic Super Late Model race in the country.

Kole Raz practicing December 4, 2025 for the 2025 Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, FL.

The team will showcase its branding agreement with Phillips 66 through the iconic 76^® brand, featuring the 76^® Renewable Diesel-branded car.

Driver Kole Raz will proudly represent both brands as he takes on one of the most competitive stages in short-track racing, further strengthening our ongoing relationship with Phillips 66, and building on the collaboration we began at last year’s Snowball Derby.

“The Snowball Derby is the perfect stage to showcase our relationship with Phillips 66,” said Brian Profitt, Cyclum’s CEO. “We’re excited to continue demonstrating how innovation and performance go hand in hand.”

The October 2025 opening of Cyclum’s first operational site in Dunnigan, California, alongside 76^®, marks the successful commissioning of the company’s initial flagship location and the foundation of a scalable national rollout strategy. This first site serves as the blueprint for Cyclum’s broader deployment of next-generation travel centers across key U.S. logistics.

With more than 50 years of history, the Snowball Derby remains a premier proving ground for emerging racing talent, having launched the careers of drivers such as Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott. The 2025 race promises another year of intense competition as top drivers battle for one of short-track racing’s most prestigious victories, with Kole Raz adding to the excitement behind the wheel of the Cyclum NextGen Travel Centers/76^® Renewable Diesel Entry.

Cyclum NextGen Travel Centers is actively developing a nationwide network of up to 400 next-generation travel center locations designed to serve the evolving needs of commercial fleets and everyday travelers. The platform integrates renewable diesel, ethanol-based gasoline, CNG, EV fast charging, and hydrogen — creating a future-ready, multi-energy fueling ecosystem across the United States.

Cyclum and Phillips 66 with the 76^® brand invite fans to join them at Five Flags Speedway as they bring energy, innovation, and racing passion to the 2025 Snowball Derby.

You can watch the Snowball Derby race live on the FloRacing app Sunday, December 7 at noon eastern (permitting weather conditions).
