FORT WORTH, Texas – In a sponsorship announcement Friday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway, Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) announced that Click n’ Close, a division of Mid America Mortgage Inc. will back new driver Darrell Wallace Jr. for at least three Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) races in 2018.
In addition to their partnership with RPM, Click n’ Close will become the “Official Mortgage Provider of NASCAR.”
The Addison, Texas-based colors will fly for the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway next February, followed by two additional races at Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway and Texas Motor Speedway next spring.
Click n’ Close is Mid America Mortgage’s new digital mortgage approval and closing platform that provides home buyers with a fast, simple and secure experience by automating many of the steps of a traditional mortgage process.
With Click n’ Close, home buyers are able to complete their application within eight minutes and receive an approval within one business day. On average, home buyers approved through Click n’ Close reach the closing table in less than half the time of a traditional mortgage process and are able to complete their closing and receive their keys within 15 minutes.
To safeguard sensitive information, Click n’ Close employs bank-level security, including advanced data encryption, allowing home buyers to safely apply for a mortgage anywhere, anytime, using any device.
“Speed is a familiar concept to NASCAR’s powerful community of sponsors and fans, which is why we chose to launch Click n’ Close nationally by partnering with NASCAR and Richard Petty Motorsports,” said Jeff Bode, owner and CEO of Mid America Mortgage.
“Click n’ Close is revolutionizing the way we service home buyers and homeowners, and we’re confident that the NASCAR community will appreciate how quickly and easily they can now secure a mortgage through Click n’ Close.”
RPM has not selected a manufacturer for competition next season.
A long-time standing Ford Performance team, Dave Pericak, global director said Friday that, “Ford remains committed to being RPM’s OEM partner for the 2018 season and we are awaiting finalization of our contract to do so. RPM has not made a commitment to Ford for 2018 as of yet.”
When team spokesperson and co-owner Richard Petty was asked about which manufacturer the team will run in 2018, he replied, “I’ll let you know when I find out.”
