Rush Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: RUSHA and RUSHB), which operates
Rush Truck Centers, the largest network of commercial vehicle
dealerships in North America, is joining a nationwide campaign to
honor some of our nation’s heroes, truck drivers, as they deliver
medical equipment, groceries and other needed supplies as well as
perform vital services to keep our communities running. In the
#ThankATrucker campaign, Americans are encouraged to thank truck
drivers for their hard work helping our country fight the COVID-19
pandemic. The No. 14 Rush Truck Centers/Mobil 1 Ford Mustang will
carry the hashtag #ThankATrucker as NASCAR returns this weekend at
The Real Heroes 400 at Darlington Raceway, at the NASCAR Cup Series
race at Darlington Raceway on Wednesday, May 20 and at the
Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 24.
“We are proud to say thank you to the nation’s truck drivers who
have remained on the road to deliver goods throughout this
pandemic. We feel honored to support our customers, not only
through this campaign, but with the service, parts, vehicles and
technologies they need to keep operating,” said W.M. “Rusty” Rush,
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Rush Enterprises,
Inc. “We hope all Americans will join us in thanking truckers
for the essential work they perform in supporting the country,” he
added.
Clint Bowyer, driver of the No. 14 Rush Truck Centers/Mobil 1
Ford Mustang said, “Anything that we’ve needed during the
quarantine, whether it is medical supplies, food at the grocery
stores or whatever the case may be has been delivered by a truck
driver who’s away from his family doing the job to make sure our
country still works,” Bowyer said. “If you see one of those
truckers going down the road, give him a thumbs-up. They deserve
it.”
