today announced that it will be the provider of the new private label
and universal fleet card for RaceTrac Petroleum, Inc.
WEX has signed a multi-year agreement with RaceTrac to offer a private

brand presence in the southern United States and because it continues to
provide value to its guests,” said Ken Janosick, senior vice president
of fleet payment solutions at WEX. “We are thrilled to have been chosen
from multiple competitors in order to create RaceTrac’s new fleet card
program. The opportunity to offer both private label and universal card
programs adds another level of convenience for commercial customers.”
WEX will work closely with RaceTrac over the next few months to create
comprehensive sales and marketing programs.
“The new RaceTrac Fleet Card program is one of the ways we aim to
accomplish our mission of making people’s lives simpler and more
enjoyable,” said Karla Ahlert, vice president of finance and treasurer
at RaceTrac. “The RaceTrac Fleet Card will provide our business partners
and their teams the convenience of filling-up at more than 600 RaceTrac
and RaceWay stores while monitoring their company’s vehicle related
expenses. WEX is an industry leader in terms of guest service and
product innovation and we are happy to partner with them as we continue
to serve as the ‘Convenience Store of Choice’ for our commercial
business owners and guests.”
