PATRICK EMERLING PARTNERS WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA ARMY NATIONALGUARD AT POCONO TO REMIND RESIDENTS THAT UNCOMMON IS CALLING

MOORESVILLE, NC, May 7, 2026 – NASCAR driver Patrick Emerling today announced that he is partnering with the Pennsylvania Army National Guard for the MillerTech Battery 250 presented by KOA O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Pocono Raceway on June 13. Emerling will drive the #38 of RSS Racing sporting the black and yellow colors of the Army National Guard with the tagline “Uncommon is Calling.” 

“Racing is about preparation, discipline, and teamwork – and those same qualities define our Soldiers,” said Lieutenant Strauss of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. “The Pennsylvania Army National Guard is proud to partner with organizations that reflect those values while giving individuals the opportunity to serve right here in the Pennsylvania communities they care about most.”

The National Guard is a unique and essential element of the U.S. military. Founded in 1636 as a citizen force organized to protect families and towns from hostile attacks, today's National Guard Soldiers hold civilian jobs or attend college while maintaining their military training part-time, always ready to defend the American way of life in the event of an emergency.

In the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, serve part-time and learn real-world skills, while you live, train and serve right here in Pennsylvania. Uncommon is calling.

“I’m honored to represent the Pennsylvania Army National Guard,” said Emerling. “Serving in the Army National Guard is a unique way for people to serve their community and have incredible experiences without having to leave home. I greatly appreciate everyone who volunteers to serve this country.”

Teslong will join the Pennsylvania Army National Guard as an associate marketing partner. Teslong’s product line includes industrial endoscopes, otoscopes, rifle borescopes and thermal cameras.

The MillerTech Battery 250 presented by KOA (100 laps | 250 miles) is the 17th of 33 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races on the 2026 schedule. Practice starts on Saturday, June 13 at 10:30 a.m., followed immediately by qualifying. The field is set to take the green flag later the next day at 4:00 p.m. with live coverage on The CW, the Motor Racing Network (Radio), and SiriusXM NASCAR Channel 90.
