2026 FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
(Pulaski, PA)...The
Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Racing Series presented by Born2Run Lubricants is
excited to welcome on another new marketing partner for the 2026 season.
Real Merchant Services DMV has been named as the "Official Payment
Processing Partner" of the RUSH Racing Series.
In addition, Real Merchant Services DMV will present the "Wheelman" Bonus
Event Challenge Series and the "Free Ride" program part of the RUSH Late Model
Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series.
Real Merchant Services DMV owner, Donnie Tepper, was a former RUSH Late
Model racer in the Mid-Atlantic.
"After racing, I transitioned into supporting businesses through
payment processing," revealed Tepper. "I’ve
always had a strong interest in finding ways to support racing organizations and
the people behind them. Given my history
with being a RUSH Late Model competitor, I thought it made sense to explore this
opportunity to partner in a way that adds value to the Series, its teams, and
supporters. My goal with this
mutually beneficial partnership is to provide a useful service to businesses
connected to the Series."
At each RUSH Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series event when 30
or more cars are present, a non-qualifier event is run part of the Real Merchant
Services DMV "Wheelman" Bonus Event Challenge Series.
Rob Coffaro is the defending champion as he was the 15th different
champion in 16 years.
Real Merchant Services DMV will also present the "Free Ride"
program which gifts Touring Series member drivers a free $100 entry fee after
each six consecutive completed Tour events they participate in.
"We were excited when Donnie contacted us about marketing Real Merchant Services
DMV through the RUSH Racing Series," acknowledged RUSH Director Vicki Emig.
"It really means a lot to see both former and current
racers give back and support the Series
by using RUSH to market their businesses.
Recently we've had Matt Latta of 3C Graphix, Russ King of Russ King
Racing, Joe Zulisky of Seal-Tite Paving & Excavating, Christian and Dale
Schneider of Schneider Trucks, Sean Boskovich of Capital Contracting Services,
Alex Anderson of IllusionCoats Powder Coating, and now Donnie through Real
Merchant Services DMV all become important marketing partners of RUSH through
their diverse businesses."
"By becoming the 'Official Payment Processing Partner' of RUSH along with
presenting the 'Wheelman' and 'Free Ride' programs, we feel we can really
promote Real Merchant Services DMV and the services they provide," added Emig.
"We urge all of our RUSH fans, drivers, sponsors, and sanctioned
speedways who utilize a payment processing service to consider Real Merchant
Services DMV for their needs."
