TDR Capital is considering a fresh run at U.S. gas station operator Speedway after owner Marathon Petroleum Corp. revived plans for a potential sale of the business that could fetch more than $15 billion, people familiar with the matter said.

The private equity firm is reaching out to banks to see how much financing it could raise for a Speedway bid, according to the people. Any offer would likely be in partnership with another suitor, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.
