RaceTrac will begin accepting Relay Payments' digital fuel payments at all RaceTrac and RaceWay locations accessible to trucks, expanding payment options for professional drivers.

Truck drivers can pay for fuel digitally and access discounts, route planning tools and real-time pricing through the Relay app. The new payment solution is available at all travel centers and high-flow diesel stores.

"As we gear up to open our 100th high-flow diesel location later this year, we are constantly looking for ways to make the lives of our professional drivers simpler," said Nick Lafalce, marketing manager of B2B fleet and professional driver campaigns for RaceTrac, Atlanta. "Our partnership with Relay gives drivers a convenient, mobile-friendly way to pay."

Relay Payments, also based in Atlanta, partners with several major convenience and travel center brands, including Pilot Co., Yesway, Maverik, Onvo and Love’s Travel Stops, to offer digital fuel payments designed to streamline and secure transactions for the trucking industry.

"We're excited to partner with RaceTrac to bring our secure, digital payment experience to RaceTrac's growing list of high-speed diesel locations," said Ryan Droege, CEO and co-founder of Relay Payments. "This collaboration reflects our continued commitment to modernizing the trucking industry with fast, reliable and fraud-free payments."

Family-owned RaceTrac is one of the largest privately held companies in the United States, with more than 800 retail locations serving customers through the RaceTrac and RaceWay brands. RaceTrac offers a frictionless fueling experience at its more than 590 store locations across the Southeast and neighboring states. The company employs more than 10,000 team members across RaceTrac, RaceWay and affiliated companies Metroplex Energy, Energy Dispatch and Gulf Oil.
