While race teams can spend a good amount of time and resources perusing marketing partners, Frank Dumicich Jr. explained the OKpetroleummarketplace.com partnership came about in a completely different manner. “Last summer when I competed and won the School Bus Demolition Derby, Matt Ortiz of OKpetroleummarketplace.com was in attendance with my employer, Rapid Recovery Towing. In the days that followed, Matt stopped by our shop, he kept talking about the demo, particularly “Frank the Tank”. When I told him I was indeed one in the same “Frank the Tank”, that started the ball rolling”.

Dumicich, additionally announced Riverhead Raceway fans will be able to get in on the savings too, “During the pit party after the races, stop by our OKpetroleummarketplace.com trucks for a brochure. The brochure will have a QR code entitling the holder to discounts.” Frank Jr. revealed.
