I thought so. Methanol has long been illegal in IMSA US races. Same for SCCA. I never had to worry about it since I just took my 10 gallon jugs to the Sunoco fuel pumps, along with a $100 bill. Yikes. It was nearly $5/gallon when I quit racing.
Mike Joy's not laughing. After all, when the ALMS went to Lime Rock, he took the ALMS competitors' loot as he sold the gas to the competitors through the Statesville, NC resident's New England Race Fuels company. He and a friend own the Sunoco distributorship.
He's concerned about fuel abuse if it was true.
